Dog Licenses
Why license your dog?
- Your dog is more likely to get back home. Licensed pets found in Kronenwetter are more likely than unlicensed pets to get home again.
- Prompt medical attention. If your dog is found injured, a pet license makes it more likely that its medical history can be located and it will get the proper medical care right away.
- It’s the law. The Village requires all dogs 5 months of age or older to be licensed.
- It ensures a dog is vaccinated against rabies. This important vaccination keeps your dog safe & healthy.
- It helps other animals. Your license payment helps: shelter and feed lost dogs and cats in Marathon County and find them a new home, educate the public about responsible pet ownership, and reunite lost dogs and cats with their owners.
