(B) No license tag shall be issued by the village clerk unless the owner of the dog to be licensed shall, at the time of making application for such license, furnish the clerk with a certificate of a veterinarian duly licensed to practice his profession in this state, showing evidence that the dog has been properly inoculated against rabies.
