Reasons for Licensing Your Pet

  • Your pet has a better chance of being returned. Losing your pet is not a good experience, yet it can happen. The best part is that if the local animal control finds your pet, they will give it a free trip home, thanks to the license it bears. Otherwise, you will pay dearly for an overnight stay at the municipal animal shelter if you find your unlicensed pet after losing it.
  • It is a requirement. Most states in the U.S. require owners to license their pets. So, if you are out walking your pet in Waunakee and are required to show its license and you do not have it, you may incur a decent-sized fine. That suggests that the tag you get after paying a license tax for your pet should remain on their collar at all times.
