We heard it's National Dog Day! Today is a good day to give your four-legged best friend an extra treat, an extra walk, and maybe a little extra attention. It’s also a good reminder to make sure your cat or dog is licensed with the City of Hot Springs!
Under City ordinance, all dogs and cats kept within city limits are required to have a current city license. A current rabies vaccination is required to obtain a license, and licensed animals receive a city tag to wear on their collar. This tag is used by animal control, should they get picked up.
If your dog is new to the family, your tag has gone missing, or you’re not sure whether your pet’s license is current, stop by City Hall, and we’ll get you squared away.
