Pet owners wishing to renew dog or cat licenses are encouraged to visit the Animal Services division's web page, download the license application and follow the instructions on the form.

In previous years, the City of Lodi's Finance Department handled pet license applications and collections. That function has since been turned over to the Animal Services division at 1345 W. Kettleman Lane.

As a result, a courtesy notice that pet owners used to receive on an annual basis is no longer being mailed. Instead, pet owners are encouraged to check their animals' licenses to verify the expiration date and renew the license before then. The annual license fee for a neutered or spayed animal is $10. Dog license applications must be accompanied by a copy of a valid rabies vaccination.
