* A service dog license is available for a seeing eye, lead or guide dog with proof of training.

Your pet's rabies vaccination must be current at the time of purchase and should be valid at least through March 1st of the year in which the license expires.

The cost for licensing unaltered or fertile pets is higher than for licensing spayed or neutered pets in order to promote sterilization and to reduce pet overpopulation and starvation.
