The Register is asking me to pay the non-desexed price but my pet is desexed
Please send your desexing certificates/proof of desexing through to us at dogs@hornsby.nsw.gov.au and we will mark the microchip as desexed, you should then be able to pay the reduced desexed fee. Alternatively your vet should be able to mark the microchip for you if they have desexed your pet.
