Dogs

So many of us love our pooches; it's important to remember there are responsibilities to dog and animal ownership, too. We've got everything you need to know, from registering your dog to exercise areas.

If you are a dog owner in Kāpiti, subscribe to our occasional newsletter. We email this group only when there is important information to share.

Read our COVID-19 page for the latest information.

Dog registration

Owning a dog is a pleasure and a privilege. It also takes care and commitment and comes with many responsibilities, such as the training, housing, feeding and exercising of your pooch.

Exercise areas

The Kāpiti Coast has some fantastic off-leash areas where dogs can run and play freely. These areas can change from summer to winter, so please make sure you’re aware of the seasonal rules before visiting.
