Information about dogs and cats
Last updated on July 31, 2024.
Do you know about the Yellow Dog Project?
The Yellow Dog Project is an activity in which yellow ribbons and accessories are attached to leads and collars to indicate that "I don't want people other than the owner or other dogs." If you see a dog with a yellow ribbon, keep it close and watch it gently. Also, when interacting with a dog, be sure to check with the owner if you can touch it.
We accept complaints and consultations regarding dogs and cats.

To dog owners
The Act on the Protection and Management of Animals and the Ordinance of Yokohama clarifies the responsibilities of owners and stipulates penalties for violations.
Let's keep dogs in accordance with the rules
Rule 1
Be sure to clean up your dog's feces and urine and take them home and treat them at home.
If you are about to excrete during a walk, spread the pet sheets you bring and excrete it on it, so that the place will not be polluted.
Also, if urine is urine, spraying water may leave the smell or spread instead. Please take care such as sucking urine with pet sheets etc.
In particular, it is necessary for dog owners to take care not to excrete the entrances and fences of other homes.
Originally, walking a dog is for exercise and is not for excretion.
Discipline your dog to excrete at home before taking a walk.
Rule 2
Be sure to wear a leash on a walk or park, and never leave it free.
Also, don't stretch the rope for a long time, and make it a length that can control the dog.
Rule 3
The owner is obliged to manage it so that it does not bother others due to squeals and odors by animals.
It is a concern to anyone other than the owner, such as dog squeals, hairs, and odors.
Keep barking while you are away or when you are visiting, or brushed hair is blown by the wind and next to you.…Have you ever said that?
Let's consider the people around you, such as discipline properly and cleaning frequently.
