The new regulations maintain a trolley system as the only approved method for unsupervised pet tethering, allowing single-point tethering only under direct supervision of the owner. Additionally, a dog may be tethered outside alone for up to 30 minutes while the owner completes a temporary task.
The ordinance also updates guidelines for pet vaccination and identification. The minimum vaccination age for dogs and cats has increased from 14 weeks to 18 weeks. Vaccinated pets can be identified using a county-issued license tag, a current rabies vaccination tag from a veterinarian, or a registered microchip with up-to-date owner information.
