Licensing your Pet
It is required by law that all dogs (and cats if living in the City of Visalia) be licensed.
In order to receive a license, your animal must receive a Rabies vaccination by a licensed veterinarian after they reach 4 months of age. Where you live will determine which governing body you will receive your license from. Once you provide the office your rabies certificate and pay for the license you will receive a tag to go on the collar of your pet. Because this is required by law, failure to comply can result in fines.
