e ANIMAL CONTROL REPORT Page 5 of 9 e Both veterinary clinics -were contacted to discuss the potential of hav ing one metal 1 icense tag. Al though both c 1 in ic s responded that they would assist the City with the identification of pet owners for picked-up animals, one clinic did not agree with the concept that the Vet's metal license tag be. the sole animal identification tag. The veterinarian for this clinic explained that the clinic could only handle a few calls from the City Pound, and felt that the elimination of the City tag would create additional paper work and staff work hours. Surrounding cities and veterinary clinics were also surveyed to determine if which citys required registration, their method of registration, the amount of the registration fee, and the number of metal license tags distributed. The results of this survey are reflected in Table II.
