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. Pet owners also can delete pets they no longer own and add new ones. Payment is made with a credit card, a receipt sent via e-mail 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 $13 for any non-spayed/non-neutered dog. Proof of a current rabies inoculation and spaying/neutering is required for licensing. For more information call 708.358.5680 or e-mail 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 his or her dog should call 708.358.5680 or e-mail health@oak-park.us.
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. For more information call 708.358.5680 or e-mail health@oak-park.us.
