polishcanuck 7 | 462 2 Apr 2008 / #3In canada there are no taxes for dogs. I take my dog to get rabies shots, but i don't think that's a law. Also dogs have to be on a leash and muzzled if they're aggressive so you don't get savagely attacked by a lawyer in case your dog bites someone. You have to pick up your dogs shite as many cities have bylaws for that - it's also respectful. If only poles would do this...Pitbulls are banned in my province.
plk123 8 | 4,138 2 Apr 2008 / #4dog laws are on a county level but cities and towns may have their own ordinances beyond the county. i'm not sure what a license cost here; not many peeps do. $2-3 would be my guess. for agressive dogs one has to have a permit and possibly a bond (insurance.) there is a leash law in effect here, 6ft but nothing about muzzles which surprises me greatly. pits are legal and not all fall under the category of a dangerous dog. the local pit lobby has been working hard with good success.vaccines are mandatory - rabies only. we have a 3 year shot here so if your pet has one of those then they have to just go back every 3 otherwise it's every year. none of our laws are strict or enforced so, for the most part, i haven't bothered with many of these tasks.
