Time is running out for dog owners in Chatham-Kent who still need to purchase tags for their four-legged friend.
Today is the deadline to get a 2025 dog license and avoid paying late fees or potential fines.
Tags are required for dogs over the age of four months and local residents cannot have more than three dogs per household.
The cost to purchase tags is $29.75 or $40.50 if your pet has not been spayed or neutered.
As of April 1, anyone buying tags will have to pay a $10 late fee and owners caught without up-to-date tags could face a $240 fine.
All funds raised from dog tags are used to offset the cost of shelter operations, animal control services and adoption needs for pets.
Dog tags can be purchased through Pet and Wildlife Rescue or at any municipal service centre.
