People in Eau Claire can only have five pets, but a new plan before the city council would give them some flexibility in how to get to that limit.
The city council is considering a plan that would drop the permit requirement to have three dogs or four cats. The permit costs 75 dollars, and city leaders say most of the people who ask for the permit are given permission for a third dog or fourth cat. If someone wants more than five pets, Eau Claire requires them to apply for a kennel license.
