Over the past year, 2,800 pets have been registered in Kyiv: how and why to do it
This is reported by the Official Portal of Kyiv.
Why is it necessary to register pets in Kyiv?
Registration involves the official entry of information about the animal and its owner into Kyiv’s municipal register.
Following the procedure, the pet is assigned a unique number, and the owner receives a registration certificate and a tag with a personalised QR code.
Experts emphasise that this procedure has a number of advantages:
- It helps to quickly locate the owner if the animal is lost.
- It confirms ownership in cases of disputes or theft.
- It allows for monitoring of mandatory vaccinations (in particular against rabies).
- The register’s data helps the city plan the development of dog walking areas, the installation of litter bins and the implementation of other pet-friendly solutions.
Dog registration in Kyiv is mandatory, whilst cat registration is optional.
