Logan, UT Animal Ordinances: Pet Groomer Rules (2026)

Title 6A of the Logan Municipal Code (Comprehensive Animal Control) names grooming businesses in three places. Section 6A.02.030 defines an animal grooming establishment as any entity or establishment maintained for the purpose of offering grooming or cosmetology services for animals. Section 6A.08.200(C) treats failing to reclaim an animal within forty eight (48) hours of the time agreed upon with a kennel, grooming service, or veterinary hospital as abandonment, which is unlawful. And section 6A.16.010 is the inspection clause: any animal control officer or law enforcement officer is vested with the power and authority set forth in the title, and an animal control officer, as a condition of the issuance of any license including a business license, can enter and inspect the premises of any pet shop, animal boarding establishment, animal grooming establishment, or other establishment which has animals.

The practical effect is that a groomer's business license is conditioned on letting animal control through the door. Animal control is the entity providing animal control services to Logan City by contract or otherwise under section 6A.02.030, and section 6A.04.030(E) tasks it with conducting inspections relating to animal control and acting as humane officer in the care of all dogs and animals living within City limits. Section 6A.04.040 makes it unlawful for any person to knowingly and intentionally interfere with the Director or any animal control officer in the lawful discharge of their duties.

A groomer also works under the title's general animal rules. Section 6A.08.100 forbids any person to knowingly harbor, keep or sell an animal afflicted with mange, ringworm, distemper, parvovirus, kennel cough, or any other contagious disease unless it is being given adequate necessary treatment. Section 6A.12.010 requires dogs and cats to be vaccinated for rabies at four (4) months of age and again at fifteen (15) months. Section 6A.16.020 authorizes officers in fresh pursuit of a vicious animal or animal at large to enter private property.
