Public Health Urges Owners to License Their Pets
Public Health Madison & Dane County is reminding residents to purchase their annual pet licenses. The 2020 pet license year runs from January 1st to December 31st. In Madison and in Dane County, it is the law that all dogs five months and older be licensed. In Madison and many cities and villages in Dane County, cats must also be licensed.
"Pet licensing helps all animals," says John Hausbeck, Animal Services Supervisor for Public Health Madison & Dane County. "When you pay your licensing fee, part of that money helps us pay for the care of stray, abandoned, and impounded animals."
Licensing also helps return lost pets to their owners. "Dogs and cats do sometimes get loose and wander off. Their license tag improves the chance of them getting back home to you," said Hausbeck. Additionally, if two people are claiming to be an animal's owner, public health staff can check the animal's pet license to identify the real owner.
"When people get their pet license tag, we want to be sure that their pet wears it at all times. This makes the work of Animal Services Officers easier," says Hausbeck. "And it's the best way for a pet owner to avoid a citation for failure to license."
