Microchip and pet registration

Microchip and canine registration

According to Regional Laws 43/85, 90/98, and 41/02, each municipality has established a Canine Register.

All owners and keepers of dogs, regardless of the title, must ensure that their dogs are registered with the Canine Register within 60 days of the animal’s birth (or within 15 days of acquiring the dog).

Dog identification in the Canine Register is carried out by implanting a microchip in the left side of the neck.

Unlike the old tattoo method, the microchip does not deteriorate over time.

The microchip does not cause adverse reactions, remains in place, and is unchanged for the dog's entire life. It can be read using a special device called a microchip reader, which needs only to be brought close to the injection site.

Tax code card of the dog’s owner
Dog’s vaccination booklet

Registrations are processed from Monday to Saturday between 10:00 and 18:00.
