Pet Licensing & Permits

Dog & Cat Licensing

All dogs and cats over six months old in the City of Chanute must be licensed annually with the City. Proof of current rabies vaccination is required to obtain a license.

There is a significant discount for spayed or neutered pets. Please bring veterinary verification to receive the reduced rate. There is also a Senior Owner Rate for spayed / neutered pets with owners over 65 years of age.

Dogs must wear the license tag, as well as a current rabies tag. Cats are not required to wear the tag. All owners must be able to show the license certificate and tag if requested. Failure to license your dog or cat is a violation of City Ordinance and may result in a citation.
