What Is Dog Licensing and What Does It Entail?
Dog licensing is a legal requirement in Pennsylvania, ensuring all dogs aged three months or older are registered with local authorities.
This process involves obtaining a license from an authorized provider, such as Lockwood Business Support Services or the county treasurer's office. Once registered, your dog receives a license number and a physical dog tag as official proof of compliance with state regulations.
Dog License Requirements in Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture requires that all dogs ages 3 months and up be licensed. Lockwood Business Support Service is the only place in the Fairfield area (aside from the county office) where you can get this registration completed.
- Proof of Rabies Vaccination: To obtain a dog license, you must provide documentation of a current rabies vaccination, which is critical for public health and safety.
- Owner Information Submission: Licensing requires you to submit your contact information, ensuring you can be reached if your dog is lost or found.
- Issuance of a License and Dog Tag: Once registered, you'll receive a physical dog tag with a unique identification number. This tag should be attached to your dog's collar at all times.
- Payment of Licensing Fees: Licensing involves a fee, which varies based on factors such as your dog's age, whether it is spayed or neutered, and the length of the license term (annual or lifetime).
It's important to note that dog licenses are typically valid for the calendar year and must be renewed annually by January 1st. Licenses are issued by the County Treasurer. By ensuring your dog is licensed, you comply with Pennsylvania law and contribute to the safety and well-being of your pet and the community.

FAQs About Dog Tags and Registration
1. Do all dogs in Pennsylvania need to be licensed?
Yes, Pennsylvania law requires all dogs aged three months or older to be licensed. This ensures compliance with state regulations and supports public safety initiatives.
2. What happens if I don't register my dog?
Failing to register your dog can result in penalties, fines, or other legal issues. Proper dog registration protects your pet and ensures you avoid potential repercussions.
3. What's the difference between a dog license and a dog tag?
A dog license is the official registration required by law, while the dog tag is the physical identification issued to your pet as proof of licensing. The tag must be attached to your dog's collar at all times.
4. What is legally required on a dog tag?
By law, a dog tag must include your name and address. It is also highly recommended that you add your phone number to facilitate the quick return of your pet if it is lost. Without a collar and updated tag, your dog may be treated as a stray and seized by animal control.
5. What should not be included on a dog tag?
Avoid including sensitive details such as your full home address, unnecessary personal information, or your dog's name on the tag. This could compromise your safety or make it easier for someone to take your pet. Instead, include a contact phone number and your city or state for secure identification.
