Dogs and Cats: You must identify all dogs and cats 16 weeks of age or older, including those held temporarily for breeding, personal pets used for breeding or housed with breeding animals, spayed/neutered dogs and cats housed in the kennel/cattery, and exhibited dogs and cats. You must use one of three acceptable forms of official ID: tag affixed to an appropriate collar, tattoo, or microchip.
