Dog Licenses

License Your Dog in 2025

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is reminding dog owners to license their pets for 2025.

All dogs three months of age and older are required to be licensed by Jan. 1 of each year. Dog owners may choose to purchase single year licenses or a lifetime license, if their dog has some form of permanent identification, such as a microchip or tattoo.

Single year licenses cost $9.20. Senior citizens or people with disabilities may purchase a single year license for $7.20. Lifetime license can only be purchased at the Erie County Courthouse, 140 W. 6th Street, Erie PA.

Licenses are available for purchase through county treasurers. For additional information, including links to forms and a list of treasurers and their contact information, click here
