Here’s How Dog Owners in KL Can Apply And Renew Dog Licenses Online

So, anyone who owns a dog knows that it’s important to get them registered for a license. Who knows, what if one day your dog decides to run away and animal control services don’t know who to return it to because it isn’t licensed? It’s definitely one responsibility every dog owner shouldn’t take lightly.

Although it’s undoubtedly a joy when you first get a new pet, the paperwork is definitely tedious and time-consuming since most areas require you to physically submit your paperwork at your local municipal office in order to get a license for your dog. Where got time for that? We’re busy people, after all!
