The source case

@jeremycowcher reports using Instinct for a few weeks and says its uses turned out different from what they expected. Flights, which they tried first, did not lead them to do anything. By their account Instinct was better at errands they had not been keen on, and the first item on their list is that it "Renewed my dog's city license and reordered his ID tag and food". The post does not name the city, the fee, the proof submitted, the tag vendor or the food ordered.

How to try it

Editorial, not from the source

Find out who licenses dogs where you live (city clerk, county or animal control) and when the current license expires.
Pull your dog's proof: a current rabies vaccination record, and spay or neuter status if the fee depends on it. Requirements vary by place.
Make sure the payment page is the city's own site before entering anything; lookalike payment pages exist.
Approve the fee and payee, then save the receipt and the new license number.
Check whether the tag is issued with the license before ordering a separate one, and confirm the engraving text.
For food, give the exact product and quantity, and approve the cart before it is bought.

What this owner listed

@jeremycowcher says the uses they found after a few weeks were not the ones they had imagined. They tried flights first and, by their account, never acted on the result. The things that stuck were errands they had not been excited about: the dog license, paying a municipal parking fine, tracking down a used book from an independent shop, chasing an airline refund, and a daily rundown of their schedule.

The dog item is a single line, so there is nothing to say about which city, what it cost or how the proof was supplied. This page keeps to what that line supports.

Before you pay a licensing fee

In general, dog licensing is run by a city, county or animal control office, and the fee often depends on whether the dog is spayed or neutered. Many offices ask for a current rabies certificate, and some charge a late fee after the expiry date. Check the notice you received, or the office's own site, for the amount and deadline instead of relying on a search result, since third-party sites sometimes take a processing fee.

Open Instinct to try it. That is the product's own site; this guide is not part of it.

Limits and confirmation points

The post does not name the city or the licensing site, and gives no fee, receipt or proof requirements.
It does not say how the tag and food were ordered or paid for, or whether the author approved each step.
The dog license is one of eight items in a list; the post gives no detail beyond one line for it.

Editorial, not from the source

The renewal portal rejects your record or says the license is not found: Search by address or the old tag number, or call the clerk or animal services office; older licenses are sometimes under a previous owner or address.
The new tag arrives with the wrong name or phone number: Contact the tag seller or the city, whoever issued it, and ask for a corrected one before the old tag is discarded.

Does the license come with a tag?

In many places it does, but not everywhere. Check with your licensing office before buying a separate one.
