Last update date April 26, 2024

Registration and rabies vaccination

Please refer to the page for registration and rabies vaccination procedures.
Dog owners are required by law to register once in their lifetime and rabies vaccination once a year.
rabies vaccination is available at a veterinary clinic.

About dog registration, rabies vaccination business trip site

Every year in April, rabies vaccination has set up a business trip site for dog registration andrabies vaccination.
Registered owners will be notified of a letter in mid-March.
Owners who have not yet registered should contact Health and Welfare Center Health Sanitation Division in your ward.
In addition, in the case of registration, a fee of 3,000 yen and an injection fee of 550 yen are required.
Registered and injected dogs are required to have a dog's license tag and an injection vote.

Please indicate the owner.

Be sure to attach the "Inu dog's license tag" and "rabies vaccination Sai Card" handed when you register your dog to your collar.
If an important dog escapes, even if the dog is protected, you will not be able to contact you unless the owner is specified.
If the collar has a dog dog's license tag / rabies vaccination vote and a lost tag, you can contact the owner.
In addition, the microchip for identifying the owner is embedded in the body, so even if the collar comes off, if there is a leader (a machine that reads the microchip number), the owner can be identified.
In the unlikely event of a catastrophe, specifying the owner increases the likelihood of finding a pet.

Recommendations for sterilization

Dogs get estrus about 10 months after birth and can give birth.
If you do not plan to give birth, perform sterilization castration to reduce the collection of puppies that have become too large and can no longer be kept.

Let's follow the manners

The irresponsible behavior of some owners are bothering other dogs and owners.
Pay close attention to the surrounding environment and make life with your dog fun.

About discipline of dung and urine

Originally, walking dogs are for exercise, not for excreting.
Train your dog to excrete at home before taking a walk.
If you can excrete in the house, your owner or dog will not be bothered even if you cannot take a walk due to injury or illness of the owner or dog, or when it is difficult to go out due to intense heat or rainy weather.

If you dung or urine during a walk

Please bring your tools so that you can take it away.
If you are about to excrete during a walk, spread your pet sheets etc. you brought and excrete them on it, so that the place will not be polluted.
Also, in the case of urine, pouring water alone may leave the smell or may spread. Please try to absorb urine with pet sheets, etc.
In particular, it is necessary for dog owners to take care such as not excreting the entrance or fence of another home.

The leash is a lifeline that connects the owner and the dog.

Be sure to wear a towline when walking or in a park, and never leave it free.
Also, don't stretch the tow rope for a long time, so that the dog can be controlled.

Don't forget to pay attention to your neighborhood

It is a concern to people other than the owner, such as dog squeals, hair, and smell.
You keep bark while you are away or when you come to a customer, or brushed hair is blown by the wind and next to you…Do you have any questions?
The owner is obliged to manage the squeals and smells of animals so that they do not disturb others.
Let's consider the people around you, such as discipline properly and clean it frequently.

When a dog bites a person

If your dog bites a person, please report it to your ward Health and Welfare Center Health Sanitation Division by the day after you become aware of the fact.
Also, within two days, the dog must be examined by a veterinarian to be assessed for rabies.
