bad news or good news im sitting on yt and listening to the news on tv, they just reported that dog license are to go up from 5 pounds to 50 pounds by june:eek: |
how much is it in the usa for dog license |
5 British pound equals 7.646 US Dollars |
so is that what u would pay or is it more over there:D |
I live in a small town in Illinois and we aren't required to have dog licenses. We do have to pay for rabies tags every year. Get this. It is only $15.00! What a difference from where we used to live, but we only paid a few dollars for their licenses. |
i feel for the people who have 3 or more dogs, from 15 to 150 pounds, its not as if the money goes to the dog charities, the goverment is dam greedy getting, but then u look at some people that shud not have animals, that wud be a good thing, then again wud they pay anyway :confused: |
i pay $60 for my kennel license(for six dogs) and a dollar for each dog after that i live on my own now and only have 3 dogs so i would pay $8 a dog ($24) but if i move back in with my roomate i would have to have the kennel license( she has 4 dogs) it seems confusing when i put it out like that sorry |
hi again, i was reading up on the news, northern ireland have the most stray and abandon dogs in uk, which i am ASHAMED to say, so they bringing this in to make owners responsible, and it going to be an OFFENSE now if a dog hurts someones pet,, which is music to my ears,,, after reading some sad stories on yt some people losing their poor pet due to neighbours dogs, so GOOD NEWS FOR A CHANGE, only thing some off the money shud go to the dog homes,:):thumbup::thumbup: |

I seen this on the news last night too. My questions are: how are they going to enforce it?? I chose to get a license for Millie, but if I hadnt, how would they know I had a dog. Toby doesnt have a license. People are more likely to license the dog if it £5 rather than £50. Are they hoping that people wont buy a dog because of the £50 license fee? I dont know too many people about here with dog licenses!! Seems rather strange...... Dont think it will do anything for stray dogs, just helps line the governments pockets. |
Oh, and they are also going to make microchipping compulsory |
Here in Oakland, California all dogs are required to be microchipped (which can be done for $10 at the local animal shelter). A license costs $100 for an unaltered dog and $10 for one that has been spayed/neutered. |
yes thats right microchiping will be compulsary which is great, well i think if someones dog gets out or hurts something then they can catch them out, but otherwise i not sure how they will know, it all sounds great:rolleyes: unless they work with the vets, people getting new babies then taking it to the vet for injections , then the vet might register the dog ,, just a thought. wat do u think? :) |

Do you have to be proactive about getting the dog chipped and licensed, or how do they enforce it. I really cant see how increasing a license fee will reduce stray dog numbers though. |

that could be another way the breeders also taking a role and registering the new address of the pup, well , the good legit breeders, this adds a question then byb breeders ,?:animal-pa |

I know that if I am about to spend £500 - £600 on my new pup, there is no way it will be going anywhere I dont know about! |
i think there shud be a big bill to those breeders that have loads and loads of dogs , and also getting the public to take part in reporting these byb s.:rolleyes: just a thought lol it will be interesting to see how it will pan out |
Seams weird that over in Irland they're putting up the fees when they stopped them over in England years ago as it prover un-enforcable. Organisations are still pushing to get micro-chipping made the law, but some people have been cutting them out of dogs to prevent them being traced when dumped or stolen. Dogs used to have to be liscenced by the age of 6 months which is why you'd get a glut of 6 month old pups arriving in rescue years ago. Law abiding people will always comply with the law others will just egnore it. With so many people struggling to make ends meet at the moment I cant help but wonder how many more dogs will end up abandoned because of the price hike. |
yes they stopped it here to, this will be in in june, i will keep a tab on it to c if i can get more info ,, i wud love to know how they wud inforce it, |

I'm in Alabama. My community charges $10.00 per year for altered or $25.00 for non-altered. If your dog is altered you can also get a lifetime license for $35.00. |
