A licensed dog (wearing its tags) is more likely to make its way back to you if it gets lost. It’s also much easier to confirm rabies status if a dog is registered in town, vs. not - not everyone puts their rabies tag on their dog’s collar. Check your town’s dog licensing ordinance — the late charges are typically 1.5 x the regular license fee, plus a penalty for each pet licensed late. Ferrets also have to be licensed as well.

Rabies tags don’t mean too much anyway. You can buy packs of them on Amazon.

Edit for the downvotes: I DON’T DO THIS. I’m a dog groomer and it’s the reason I require people to bring paperwork. Rabies vaccines are required by law and usually the only one groomers require, but people still try to bring old tags, swap tags with other dogs, or buy tags instead of just taking their dog to the damn vet.

Lol if you’re buying fake rabies tags you probably shouldn’t own a dog.

I probably should have said I don’t do this. I’m a dog groomer. Being able to buy tags online is why I require to see the paperwork.
