Pet Tag Requirements and Tag Suggestions

Pet tag requirements for dogs and cats vary significantly by state and municipality across the United States. However, there are some common elements many regions follow to ensure the safety of pets and the community.

1. Pet Identification Tags:  Most states and municipalities require a basic ID tag with the owner’s name and contact information. This helps ensure that if a pet gets lost, it can be returned home quickly and safely.
2. Rabies Shop Verification Tags: Many states legally mandate that pets wear a rabies vaccination tag on their collar. This shows the pet is up to date on vaccinations, which is essential for public health and compliance with state regulations.
3. Pet License Tags: Several states or local governments also require dogs and in some cases cats to wear a license tag. This indicates that the pet has been registered with the local animal control agency and ensures the owner is compliant with licensing laws. Licensing fees often support animal control programs and shelters.  California, New York, Texas, and Florida mandate licenses for dogs over four months of age. Ohio and Pennsylvania require licenses for dogs over three months old. Pennsylvania requires a microchip for lifetime licenses.  Michigan and Colorado both require dog licenses but have specific exemptions or allowances based on the municipality. Michigan prohibits Breed Specific License (BLS), while Colorado requires dog licensing from six months of age. Washington and Virginia dog owners need to license their pets, with the requirement typically enforced at the county level.  While we are highlighting many of the state requirements, it is important to check with your local municipality, veterinarian clinic or shelter to make yourself aware.
4. Additional or Suggested Pet Tag Regulations: Some regions enforce breed-specific legislation or have special rules for service animals. Tags for service dogs are often encouraged, though not legally required, to ease public access issues.  Pets may also wear a harness, collar, or leash to identify them as working pets, emotional support pets, or any pet disabilities.  
5. Pet Allergy or Illness Tags: You may want to include medical information (like allergies) on tags to help those caring for our pets to be aware.

There are consequences of non-compliance for not following local regulations for pet tags. Failure to comply with these laws may result in fines or impoundment of the pet. Fines can vary, ranging from $25 to over $500 depending on the location and number of offenses.
