Registration of dogs, rabies vaccination, etc.

To keep a dog, it is mandatory to protect your dog from rabies and to register your dog and inoculate the rabies vaccination under the Rabies Prevention Act as a social responsibility.

When the dog is three months old, it is necessary to register the dog and get rabies vaccination.
Registration is once a lifetime and rabies vaccination once a year.

At a veterinary clinic commissioned by Yokohama City, you can issue rabies vaccination and rabies vaccination votes at the same time.
Unregistered dogs can register at the same time.
In addition, at a pet shop commissioned by Yokohama City, you can register on the spot when purchasing a dog.
Please confirm animal hospital and pet shop entrusted by Yokohama-shi on Yokohama-shi animal protection center homepage.

Take the rabies vaccination certificate issued by the veterinary clinic to Environmental Sanitation Section.
