DOG LICENSING
The State of New Jersey requires all dogs to be certified by a licensed veterinarian as immunized against rabies. The intent of this law is for the immunity against rabies to cover the duration of the licensing period, which, is the calendar year. Pet owners are advised to consult their vet if they have any questions concerning vaccination overlap. The owners of a puppy or any dog who has received its first vaccination with a one year duration need to consult with the vet who administered this inoculation as to the length of the immunity the booster will provide.

CAT LICENSING
Delaware Township ordinance which can be located on the Delaware Township website located under Board of Health requires all cats to be licensed  and vaccinated against rabies.
