Veterinarians must hold a NY State license issued by NYSED Office of Professions — verify at op.nysed.gov. Pet stores and breeders require a license from the NY Dept. of Agriculture & Markets at (518) 457-3502. Boarding kennels are licensed by the town and inspected by local animal control or the Orange County SPCA. Dog groomers do not require a state license in New York. Dog walkers and pet sitters are unregulated in Orange County. Always verify any provider's credentials independently.
