Why you should license your pet:
-
A San Bernardino City pet license can provide your pet safe passage home if it becomes lost. If it is injured, its license enables others to notify you more quickly. Our animal control officers will even bring the pet to you, for free, if it is currently licensed and has not been impounded before.
-
A San Bernardino City pet license also provides important proof of current rabies vaccination. Rabies exists in San Bernardino County in certain wild animals as well as domestic animals that come infected through contact with them. Every year hundreds of city residents are bitten by dogs, and some of them will be required to undergo a very expensive rabies treatment because the dog was not currently vaccinated against rabies. While the law does not require rabies vaccinations for cats, it would be prudent for cat owners to do so because of their possible contact with wild animals and bats.
-
Dog licensing is mandatory - cat licensing is voluntary. All dogs over the age of 4 months must be licensed within 30 days. Pet owners moving into the area must also license within 30 days. A current rabies vaccination certificate is required to purchase a license.
