Pet Licensing: Required by your local municipality, town or rural district

Make sure your pets can always find their way home.

When purchasing a Saint John dog license, proof of current rabies and distemper vaccines must be provided, as well as proof the animal is spayed or neutered (if applicable). If your dog is lost, a dog license could become your pet’s ticket home.

Saint John dog licenses are valid from January 1 to December 31 and must be renewed annually.
