In Frederick County, dog tags are required:

• not later than 30 days after the dog has reached the age of 4 months or
• not later than 30 days after an owner acquires a dog (4 months of age or older).

Frederick County offers a Lifetime Dog Tag.  This tag will be valid for the life of the dog if it remains with the same owner and rabies vaccination information is kept current.

To purchase a dog tag, you will need the rabies vaccination information.  If you have received a notice from our office, your veterinarian has provided that information to us and you can simply look up your dog by ticket number.
