Why do I need a private kennel license?

With a private kennel license, you are demonstrating that you are a responsible pet owner and neighbor. Private kennel owners work with Animal Control Officers to ensure that all animals in unincorporated Snohomish County are well-cared for and responsibly bred.

See SCC Ch 6.06 for more information.
