Renew licenses online…Oak Park pet owners who receive an animal license renewal application in the mail are encouraged to renew online at www.oak-park.us/onlineservices. Pet owners who renew online can delete pets they no longer own and add new ones. Payment is made with a credit card, a receipt sent via email and the actual tag delivered in the U.S. Mail.
Pet owners still will have the option of mailing in their payment or coming to Village Hall, 123 Madison St. All dogs and outdoor cats are required to display a current animal license by May 1.
The license fee is $10 for a neutered/spayed dog and all cats, and $25 for any non-spayed/non-neutered dog. Proof of a current rabies inoculation and spaying/neutering is required for licensing a new pet.
For more information call 708.358.5486 or email health@oak-park.us.
Picking up a must…Responsible pet owners agree that picking up after one’s dog is the right thing to do. Dog excrement is not only a nuisance, it’s unhealthy and against the law. Anyone observing someone not picking up after a dog should call 708.358.5486 or email health@oak-park.us. And be a good neighbor by depositing your pet’s waste in your trash bin.
Leash required…All dogs that use any public street, sidewalk, parkway or public area within the Village must be on a leash controlled by the owner. The leash can be no longer than eight feet. For more information call 708.358.5486 or email health@oak-park.us.
