Local pet owners who haven’t purchased a 2017 dog tag could be facing fines.
Contracted by-law enforcement officers will be conducting a community-wide blitz over the next month or so.
Commissionaires, who wear uniforms and carry identification, will be going door-to-door to question owners of residents who have unlicensed dogs or whose license has expired.
All dogs over the age of four months must be licensed in Chatham-Kent – fines and court costs for offenders can reach $240.
