How does the county license differ from the rabies tags?
A rabies vaccination and county animal license are two ways to identify ownership and confirm the rabies vaccination status of every dog and cat. It is a State law that every dog and cat be currently vaccinated against rabies. Once a rabies vaccination is administered by a licensed veterinarian, a certificate with owner information and a description of the dog or cat is noted. The expiration date and a rabies tag number is also noted on the certificate. The rabies tag should be affixed and remain at all times on the collar of the pet. The rabies certificate which proves proof of the vaccination, should be kept with important files. The animal license, required for dogs and cats, can only be purchased with proof that the pet has a current rabies vaccination.
