I've never gotten anything about county licensing with Jackson's rabies shot/tag. He's had 3 in his lifetime now (6 months, 1 year and 3).

No, I just found out the first time is a year and then it's up to the vet but they can get a 1 year or 3 year shot.

I knew nothing about dog licenses till I got papers from the county saying I needed to pay $10.00 for the license. Then my vet explained that once she submits papers indicating Magnus got his rabies, the county send out notice saying I need a dog license.

Some parks require the dog has the rabies and dog license tags visible to enter the area. I don't think there's anyone that really checks though...

Your getting off cheep if its only $5 . Its always a good idea to license your pups and put the tags on their collars. Its just one more way of identifying them if they get lost.

Its mandatory here in Ohio and our cost is $22 per dog. The cost has risen every year for the past three years. We use to pay only $11 per dog and that has now doubled. Plus if you do not pay by the dead line it will also double to $44 per dog !!

Just last summer unlicensed dogs without tags were being seized by the dog warden. Not sure how they thought they had that right but they did.

Ohio county strong arming citizens into getting revenue – compliance sweep of unlicensed dogs has seized 100 so far, threat to euthanize! | InvestmentWatch

I just don't want three tags on her collar only two so not sure which would be more important the county tag or rabies tag. Callie is never left alone and our gates to the fence outside have locks on them so don't have a really big fear of animal control taking her.

I would have to say the licensing tags and her identification tags are more important. Those are the two that I put on my pups. If needed you can always show proof that she has had her rabies vac. Its not a matter of animal control taking her, if there is ever that rare chance that she does get out. Anyone who finds her can call the warden and they can tell them where she lives or give your information to them for a quit return home.

Teegy and Tufty are licenced it's the law here, there are municipal officers who float around parks and off leash areas and it comes with a $5000 fine if they are not
