Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has two Labradors named Bonnie and Clyde, says he hopes offering the process online will make life easier for dog lovers. Licenses will still be available through the paper system.
The city says the wait time for new licenses and renewals will now be cut in half, to about 10 days instead of a month.
Officials are also hoping that this streamlined service will get more dogs licensed. Just 20 percent of the city's estimated half a million dogs are registered.
