The City of Stratford's by-law # 195-2002 states that all dogs and cats must be licensed yearly and the licence must be renewed annually.
These licence fees pay for the tag and assists animal control officers in identifying and returning lost pets, teaching about animal safety and keeping our neighbourhoods safe for pets and people.
