Yolo County Animal Services has partnered with DocuPet to provide an enhanced pet licensing experience for residents. Your pet’s license now includes DocuPet’s free HomeSafe™ 24/7 lost pet service and designer license tags with personalization options.
APPLYING FOR A NEW LICENSE
When you register your pet in Yolo County, you will receive a unique license tag to attach to their collar. Our new licensing process with DocuPet allows residents to select a standard license
tag at no additional charge or upgrade to one of DocuPet’s colorful designer tag styles for an additional fee. Each DocuPet tag, standard or designer, doubles as a pet’s official license and comes equipped with the HomeSafe™ 24/7 lost pet service, which relies on a dedicated full-time dispatch staff and linked pet profiles to help get lost pets home quickly.

Through Yolo County’s licensing partnership with DocuPet, every license tag is now equipped with the complimentary HomeSafe™ lost pet service, which is driven by a 24/7 dedicated dispatch team and community-wide network and has reunited thousands of lost pets with their families.
Each license tag includes a unique HomeSafe™ code that links to that pet’s profile, and is used to create a Lost or Found Pet Report. The HomeSafe™ dispatch staff is available 24/7, 365, and they are determined to get every lost pet back home quickly and safely using that pet’s profile as their guide.
Pet owners can update their DocuPet profiles to include important information about their pet, such as emergency contacts, medical and veterinary information, care instructions and photos to help any profile viewer identify or care for their pet should they ever get lost.
