There has not been a dog licence in the UK for around 20 years now. You are a little behind the times.
Denise W has been shown to be telling porkies. How can someone in the post office next to her, have bought something which doesn't exist?? LOLOL

There is no need to have a dog licence in the UK now and we have not needed one for as many years as I can remember

No dog licences as such dont exist anymore, you only have to be granted a special licence/permission if you own a dog that is specified on the "dangerous dogs act1991"

No... Dog Licences were abolished years ago... for the reason that the dog population became so vast that it was too expensive to oversee it for the Government. It is now down to responsible dog owners to ensure their dogs are cared for and if possible microchipped. Which your vet can do for about £20. It's well worth it.

"The dog license was abolished in 1986 but there are a number of schemes available which offer microchipping, tattooing or other means of permanent identification, with details of ownership being placed on a database. Dog owners may wish to choose one of these schemes as additional security but should be aware that the law still requires every dog to wear a collar with its owners name and address on it, whilst in a public place."
Some local councils (e.g. Coleraine) operate their own dog license scheme, and some councils require you to have a license to BREED dogs, but the old standard (37½p!) dog license was scrapped 20 years ago.

I was in the post office only the other day and a guy came in & got a dog licence, so yes people do still buy them...If your dog causes an accident or gets lost and is picked up by the police you will be required to show them a valid licence, should you not have one you will be liable to prosecution...so go get a licence
