76247 - Pet Safety

1. Keep them cool

If your pet spends time outdoors, make sure they have a shady spot to rest

and plenty of water keep them hydrated. Never leave your pet in your car

unattended. Even on a mild 80 degree day the inside of your car can heat

up to nearly 100 in mere minutes.

2. Identification

Make sure your pet has proper ID in case they get lost. Better yet, have

them microchipped just in case they lose their tags. Justin requires that cats

and dogs 4 months of age or older be registered with the city and wear the

issued metal tag on their collar or harness.

3. Keep pets on a leash

For the safety of your pet and others, keep your dog on a leash at all times

when walking, even if your city or town does not mandate it. Justin’s

ordinance states that it is unlawful for owners not to keep dogs from

running at large - cats are exempt.

4.Vaccinations

Not only do vaccinations keep you and your family safe, they are required

by law in the state of Texas.Justin and unincorporated areas in 76247

follow state regulations that all dogs and cats be current on their rabies

vaccinations by 4 months of age and every year thereafter.
