Miami-Dade County pet owners are advised that all dogs, cats, and ferrets must be vaccinated against rabies (with either a 1 year or 3 year vaccine), and all dogs must be licensed every year. Failure to license or vaccinate against rabies is a safety and public health issue, and a violation of the Florida State Statute and County Code.
