Why should I get a pet license?
Licensing your pet improves the chances of having your animal returned to you should they become lost or run away and helps the City of Ankeny ensure that pets are vaccinated.
Failure to license your pets could result in a $50 fine for the first offense and $100 for subsequent offenses. The City also requires a $45 impound fee and $25 service fee if a pet is picked up by Animal Control. Remember: The cost of a license is far less than being caught without one!
