In the title compound, [CoCl(2)(C(6)H(8)N(2))(2)], the Co(II) ion is four-coordinated by two pyridine N atoms from the 2-amino-3-methyl-pyridine ligands and two chloride ions in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. A weak intra-molecular N-H⋯Cl inter-action occurs. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bond inter-actions.
