Licensing and pet ordinances

In your first weeks as a pet parent, you should familiarize yourself with your city’s animal ordinances, including leash, licensing, and vaccination requirements.

Many cities limit the number of animals allowed in a single household.

It's also a good idea to familiarize yourself with other pet-related ordinances (like impounded animals, barking and noise complaints, and accumulation of feces in the yard).
