News Background

Only 1/4 of the city's registered dogs are registered

According to the WeChat public account "Shenzhen Release", police cases of "dog-related disputes" have occurred frequently in Shenzhen in recent years and are increasing year by year. From January to October 2018, 3,293 cases occurred, of which 3,010 were "dog bites." Calculated, there are more than 300 dog bite incidents every month.

Shenzhen is one of the earlier cities in my country to standardize dog-raising legislation. As early as 1995, Shenzhen promulgated the "Regulations on Restrictions on Dog Breeding in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone". In 2006, Shenzhen adjusted its legislative thinking and changed "prohibition and restriction" to "regulation and management". It became the first country in the country to promulgate and implement the "Shenzhen Dog Breeding Management Regulations", which triggered a huge response.

The regulations make many innovative provisions on dog-raising behavior - a dog-raising registration system is implemented, and a fine of 500 yuan is imposed for raising a dog without registration; dogs should be led by adults when engaging in outdoor activities, and dogs should carry number plates and leashes; dogs are prohibited from entering public places such as hospitals, schools, theaters, and parks, etc.

However, like the “dog-raising orders” that have been promulgated in many domestic cities, the implementation of the regulations is not satisfactory, and the number of dog-related complaints has not decreased. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 200,000 dogs in the city, of which only one-quarter are registered. Uncivilized dog-keeping phenomena such as not cleaning up dog feces in a timely manner, walking dogs without leashes, and barking dogs to disturb residents are common. Dogs hurt people from time to time, endangering public safety and citizens' health.

The dog breeding license can be applied for through WeChat, and the dog must be vaccinated first.

In order to solve the citizens' demand for applying for the dog breeding license online, Shenzhen Urban Management launched the "dog breeding service" function on the official WeChat public account "Beautiful Shenzhen". Citizens can apply for the "dog breeding management registration certificate" through WeChat.

On the WeChat public account "Beautiful Shenzhen", click on the first-level sub-menu "Convenience Services" and find "Dog Breeding Services". You can apply for a dog breeding license online, as well as a map of the license application point, application results, tips on civilized dog breeding and other functions.

It is worth noting that when applying for a dog breeding license, you also need to provide a photo of the "Shenzhen Dog Immunization Certificate". Therefore, before applying for a dog license, your dog needs to be vaccinated. Shenzhen implements a free compulsory rabies immunization system. Within Shenzhen, pet hospitals listed as designated rabies immunization points for dogs in Shenzhen can inject rabies vaccines for dogs free of charge. You can find more than 180 designated rabies immunization points for dogs in the city in "Dog Breeding Services".
