No countywide Allegheny County pet-limit ordinance. Municipalities set per-household caps. Pittsburgh allows up to 5 dogs/cats combined per dwelling without a kennel license. Most suburbs limit 3-4 dogs before kennel license required.
PA Dog Law requires a kennel license for any premises keeping 26+ dogs (or boarding/breeding). Municipal pet limits fall below this threshold. Pittsburgh Code §633.03 permits up to 5 dogs/cats. Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair commonly cap at 3 dogs. Exceeding the limit requires kennel license and zoning approval. Licensed service animals do not count toward municipal limits.
Municipal violation $100-$500 per excess animal. Unlicensed kennel: PA Dog Law summary $300 + costs.
