A. Every licensed dog shall be provided by the owner/guardian or possessor thereof with a suitable collar at least three-fourths of an inch wide, or some other suitable device, to which shall be attached the tag provided for in Section 10.04.020 hereof and such collar or device must be worn by such licensed dog at all times.

B. If a collar or dog license tag is not clearly visible, persons authorized to enforce the provisions of this chapter may, in any place that is open to the public, check a dog’s license tag to verify that it is attached to the dog’s collar.

C. Except as provided in Section 10.04.210, a violation of the requirements that a dog be licensed and wear a dog license tag is not in itself a sufficient basis to impound a dog. (Ord. 6627-NS § 1, 2001: Ord. 6568-NS § 1, 2000: Ord. 4372-NS § 5, 1968)
