pet licensing

Registering owned animals

Pet licensing is a government requirement that owners register their animals—usually dogs, sometimes cats—with local authorities.

Owners pay a fee and receive a tag proving compliance.

The system helps reunite lost pets with owners, verify rabies vaccination, and fund animal control services.
