A microchip provides permanent identification if your dog loses its licence. A veterinarian, Animal Services or the Humane Society can scan your pet and read your contact information. A dog licence is clearly visible and identifies that your pet has an owner. It’s the law that all cats and dogs residing in Thunder Bay be licensed within 14 days of ownership.
