Leash laws
Oklahoma has no statewide leash law. Counties of 200,000 or more people, cities and some school boards may regulate or prohibit dogs running at large.
Rabies vaccine
Yes. Oklahoma requires dogs, cats and ferrets by 4 months of age to be vaccinated against rabies. Boosters follow the vaccine used (usually every 1 or 3 years).
