How to License your pet: Only dogs are required to be licensed in the Town of Prescott Valley. A current Rabies vaccine is needed to license your pet. Only a licensed veterinarian can administer the vaccine.
You can obtain a Rabies vaccine by taking your dog to your pet's veterinarian. Petco also offers monthly vaccine clinics. A licensed veterinarian is present and will administer the vaccine. Dates and times vary, please contact Petco at 708-0212 for more information.
Once your pet has been vaccinated against Rabies, ask the doctor performing the vaccine for a copy of the pet's Rabies Vaccine Certificate. This is the document you will need to obtain the license.
