In Pittsburgh, start with the office named above and the linked government page. A rabies certificate from a veterinarian shows the vaccine. It is the city or county license only if that official page says the certificate is the license. Tags issued by another city do not automatically transfer when you move to Pittsburgh. Ask whether the page's age rule, late fee, and spay or neuter difference apply to your dog before you pay.
