SPECIAL
UPDATE: Please be advised that the city of San Antonio no longer
requires pets to be microchipped for city registration. Dr. Carter feels
very strongly against this, and believes that pet owner education, spaying/neutering and
microchipping in combination is the first and most fundamental step
towards making San Antonio a no-kill shelter system. If you agree,
please voice your concerns to the city of San Antonio and Animal Care
Services.License Requirements
All dogs and cats 4 months of age and older in the City of San
Antonio and in unincorporated Bexar County are required to have a
current rabies vaccination and be licensed with the City.
