Pet Licensing

A Seattle Pet License:

  • Gives your pet a Free Ride Home should he or she be impounded. Although the standard redemption fees still apply, officers make every effort to return licensed animals to their owners while in the field. This prevents you and your pet from having to come to the animal shelter!!
  • Allows you to notify Seattle Animal Shelter when you are on vacation and someone else is caring for your pet. Simply call Seattle Pet Licensing at (206) 386- 4262 and let them know how long you will be gone and who to contact should your pet be found. Pet license staff will note this on your pet licensing record.
  • Helps link up finders of lost animals with pet owners without your pet making a visit to the animal shelter.
  • Helps veterinarians contact pet owners should your pet become injured and be in need of life saving medical treatment.

Safety Tips For a Well-Dressed Pet

  • CATS: Use a "release" type collar. These are available at most pet stores. These collars allow your cat to free itself should the collar become attached to something.

  • DOGS: Use a leather or nylon collar. Never put tags on a "choke chain" type collar. These collars should be used for training only and should never be left on a dog. They can strangle your pet.
