Dog rules in Croton-on-Hudson, New York

Dog rules in the U.S. come from three levels: state law, the county, and the city. Nearly every state requires rabies vaccination for dogs, while leash, license, and waste rules are usually set by the city or county, so they can be different in Croton-on-Hudson than in the next town over.

  • License and rabies tag: most cities require a dog license and current rabies vaccination. Keep the tags on your dog's collar.
  • Leash rules: many cities require dogs to be leashed in public, with off-leash allowed only in posted dog areas. Check the leash length limit too.
  • Waste: picking up after your dog is required almost everywhere, and fines apply.
  • Limits: ordinances often cover barking, the number of dogs per home, and dogs left in hot cars or tied up outdoors.
