Pet Registration

Have pets and live in Kyle’s city limits? Our city ordinance requires all pets to be registered with the Kyle Police Department. Kyle’s Animal Control Department recently started using Pet Hub for its pet registration system. So pet recovery is now even better!

Our pet registration system, in conjunction with Pet Hub, gives your neighbors the ability to return your pet to you 24/7. This means furbabies and their humans can now be more easily reunited with no change in the annual registration cost, which is only $5.25 for the whole year if your pet is spayed/neutered. Pet Hub offers an online pet profile and a 24/7 hotline call center included in the price.

Several local veterinary hospitals (Firehouse Animal Health Center and Kyle Animal Hospital) offer clients the option to register your pets right there at the counter, making it even more convenient.

If you are registering a pet via mail or in-person, here is the address:
