How to get a pet registered in Dubai

This content was originally posted in 7DAYS UAE website at: How to get a pet registered in Dubai Getting a pet in Dubai does not only involve your consent but also the approval of your land owners. If your community does not allow pets, a specifically signed approval from the owners can allow you to keep pets at home too. Once you have got the pet of your choice, you should head to the Veterinary Services Section at the Public Health Department of Dubai Municipality for registration. Dubai Municipality rules state that all cats and dogs must be registered with them and have what is called a Municipality tag. This plastic neck tag is renewable every year each time your pet is vaccinated. If your pet was to get lost and then found, the tag has a unique number on it that will relate to your contact information held at the Veterinary Services Section of DM. Therefore, the tag needs to be kept on your pet’s collar at all times. When heading to the Dubai Municipality to get your pet registered, make sure you have: Your pet Their up-to-date vaccination records Your full address with contact information Registration can also be done at veterinary clinics. The procedure remains the same, but prices vary from Dhs10 for registration and the neck tag at the municipality to Dhs75 in private clinics across Dubai. All pets should also be micro-chipped, which can also be done at the municipality. If a pet is found without a tag, they will be treated as a stray animal. All cats and dogs must be registered, microchipped and vaccinated, or you could face fines and confiscation. mahak@7days.ae   Read the original story at: How to get a pet registered in Dubai
