If your dog or cat has been vaccinated recently but you do not have a current license, you may obtain a license at the clinic by bringing in the current rabies vaccination certificate. The license fee is normally $8.00 for neutered males and females and $20.00 for un-neutered males and females, but will be reduced to $5.00 for neutered males and females and $10.00 for un-neutered males and females during the Pet Clinic. Dogs and cats must be licensed when they reach six months of age. To be eligible to receive the lower prices at the pet clinic for vaccinations, all residents must purchase a license for their cat or dog if they do not already have a current one. Licenses are good for a maximum of two years, so please bring your lliU!IT copy with you to the pet clinic - the tags are not dated. If planning to pay by check, please bring two check blanks. Payment for licenses goes to the City of Ramsey. Payment for vaccinations goes to the veterinary clinic. All animals must be leashed when brought to the clinic.
