For those who have a dog

In Yokohama City, the responsibility of the owner is stipulated in the "Yokohama City Ordinance on the Protection and Management of Animals".
Keep good manners and live with your dog.

In recent years, many complaints about domestic dogs have been received. In particular, it is noticeable due to the disposal of manure during a walk and the squealing of dogs.
Owners must be managed so as not to disturb others due to the squeals and smells of animals. In addition to performing basic discipline, be sure to attach a lead (towing line) when taking a walk, and properly dispose of manure.

If your dog bites a person, you must notify Health and Welfare Center by the day after you know the fact. You must also have a veterinarian health check-up within two days to see if you have rabies.

Domestic dogs are required to be registered. Dogs older than 90 days must complete the registration procedure (registration is done once in a lifetime).
At the same time, it is mandatory to receive a rabies vaccination once a year (injection fee varies from animal hospital to animal hospital).
