Recently, the city of Beijing introduced a new dog-only regulation, which explicitly mentions enhanced management only for large dogs over 35 cm. This policy has attracted the attention of many pet owners. So, if your love dog is above this limit, how do you get a legal dog certificate?
I. KNOWING THE POLICY BACKGROUND
The Beijing City has adopted this policy primarily to maintain the security of life and public order. Large dogs, because of their larger size, may cause panic or injury to others and therefore need to be better managed. This does not mean, however, that the dogs cannot live in Beijing alone, as long as the owner obtains a legal dog certificate for them and adheres strictly to the relevant regulations.
II. Survey to the designated agency
First of all, you need to take your dog to a designated pet medical facility or animal health surveillance facility for height measurements. Only the measurements of these institutions can be used as a basis for obtaining dog certificates.
Preparation of relevant materials
In order to obtain a dog certificate, you need to prepare the following materials: an immunisation certificate for the dog, an identity certificate for you, a residence certificate and a housing title or lease contract (prove that you have a suitable breeding environment). The consent of the roommate or landlord is also required in the case of shared or rented apartments.
IV. CONTRIBUTION OF CONCERNS
According to the regulations of Beijing City, a fee is payable for the processing of dog certificates. The amount may vary from region to region, and you can consult with local pet authorities.
Participation in training courses
In order to ensure that dogs only behaved in public, the city of Beijing required dog owners to attend relevant training courses. These courses teach you how to walk a dog right, how to avoid a dog hurting. After training, you get a certificate, which is one of the necessary conditions for obtaining a dog certificate.
Periodic updating of dog certificates
It should be noted that dog certificates are not always valid for life. You need to go to the appointing authority each year for an annual review and pay the corresponding fees. If the height or other condition of the dog changes, it is also necessary to update the certificate in a timely manner.
In conclusion, although the management of large dogs over 35 cm has been strengthened in the city of Beijing, they can still be raised legally in the city as long as the owner obtains a legal dog certificate in accordance with the relevant regulations and strictly adheres to other regulatory requirements.
