The Office of Local Government (OLG) has updated the user guides for the NSW Pet Registry (Registry).

The NSW Pet Registry User Guide for Veterinarians and Authorised Identifiers (Vet and AI User Guide) provides a step by step guide to the major functions of the Registry for both Veterinarians and Authorised Identifiers.

The Vet and AI User Guide includes detailed instructions on how to create microchip records and update the desex status of a pet, as well as new sections on how to create and manage litter and offspring records, how to use the buyer search functionality and how to report a lost and found cat or dog on the Registry.

The NSW Pet Registry User Guide for Pet Owners and Breeders (Owners and Breeders User Guide) provides instructions on how to create a user profile, connect pet records to user profiles and how create a litter and add offspring.

The OLG would appreciate if veterinarians, in their interactions with cat and dog owners and breeders, refer them to the Owner & Breeder User Guide so that owners and breeders can ensure their pets are registered and their contact details are updated on the Registry.
