Kendall County Animal Control is the County agency responsible for the enforcement of the state statutes governing rabies control in domestic companion animals. The State of Illinois requires that all dogs 4 month of age or older be vaccinated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian. Effective January 1, 2020 the State of Illinois will require that all cats 4 month of age or older that are companion animals be vaccinated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian. Compliance with this law is monitored through the issuance of rabies tags for all dogs and cats residing in the County. All dogs and cats are required to wear their rabies tags when off of the owner's property. If a pet is lost, rabies tags also provide an excellent means of identifying your pet.

Kendall Co. Animal Control also enforces the County's ordinance that prohibits dogs from running at large in unincorporated, residential areas.

Replacement tags: $5.00 for a replacement tag, with proof of vaccination and original tag purchase. 

Rabies tags for dogs and cats may be purchased online, in person, after-hours drop off or by
mailing rabies certificate with check or money order to:
