St. Louis officials are asking residents to follow the latest city ordinances with regard to leashing their pets.
The Department of Health of the City of St. Louis reminds dog owners of Title 10 of the Municipal Code, which says dogs must be kept on a leash whenever they are on or in a park, public street, or other public space. The maximum length of the leash is six feet, and it must be held at all times, and by a responsible person who is can control the dog. Dogs can be let off their leashes when the animal and its owner are using a dog-exercise park as designated by the city.
Violations of the leash law are common complaints Animal Care and Control officers have to investigate. Other common infringements of the law that require investigation include being unable to provide verification of a rabies vaccination (since all dogs and cats in St. Louis must have this vaccination) and not having a certificate of registration or registration tag.
Certificates of registration can be obtained at the same time a person has a pet vaccinated. The tags are also distributed when the pet is vaccinated. The city requires that the tag be displayed on the animal's harness or collar at all times. Officials can use poster printing to create Signs listing the regulations for measures like this.
