The City of Pasco has partnered with PetData to provide dog licensing services to Pasco. You will receive your dog license renewal in the mail from PetData with instructions to how to renew your dog license(s). If you do not receive a renewal or are licensing a new pet, please follow the below instructions to license your pet.
Animal licensing is required in the City of Pasco for all dogs. Licensing is for the well-being of the pet to help ensure that if one becomes lost it can be returned home. Without a license, a lost pet may be impounded or potentially adopted. Pet license fees help subsidize animal control efforts.
To license by mail, simply download and complete the application (available online from PetData) or complete your renewal form received in the mail. Enclose proof of spay/neuter if applicable, and rabies certificate. Paperwork will not be returned. Mail the documents with your check or money order made payable to City of Pasco (please do not send cash), to: City of Pasco Dog Licensing c/o PetData PO Box 141929 Irving, TX 75014-1929
