Save your current rabies certificate for licensing. Owners of dogs and cats over the age of four months can obtain a pet license at the Coralville Police Department. A current rabies certificate must be present for each pet at the time of licensing. Dogs and cats under the age of four months that are no longer with their dam, but which are too young to be immunized, shall be issued a temporary city ID tag. Temporary city ID tags will automatically expire five months from the date of birth of the cat or dog.
All licenses expire at the same time as the rabies vaccination unless otherwise stated.
All pets, including cats, must wear the license tag at all times when the animal is off the owner's property, unless confined within an enclosed area of a motor vehicle. It provides evidence the pet has been vaccinated against rabies. The Animal Shelter is located at the corner of South Clinton and Kirkwood Avenue, Iowa City. To speak with staff at the Shelter, press 0-operator, when the recording is played. All pets, regardless of age, must be leashed at all times unless confined by a tether or within the owner's enclosed property.
