Among its responsibilities include processing dog license applications, providing customer service, providing veterinarians with supplies, mailing tags, maintaining a database, and communicating with Animal Control Officers, veterinarians, and citizens to help reunite lost pets with their owners.
The ACO determined PetData complied with 8 of the 9 terms and conditions tested.
