Procedures for registration, change, and death of dogs

The Rabies Prevention Act requires that dogs be registered within 30 days of starting (90 days to 30 days if they are within 90 days old).

If there is a change in the registration information or you have died, please notify us within 30 days.

・Do you have a microchip attached?

If you start having a dog older than 90 days, you may have registered your dog at a local government outside the city.

Please contact the Animal Protection Center (TEL: 045-471-2111) in advance to confirm the registration of microchip information.

At the same time, please refer to the website of the microchip attachment and registration system.

・Have you received metal plates with "Inu dog's license tag" from pet shops, etc.?

If you have received it, you will need to change your registration information instead of "registering your dog".

At the same time, please refer to the rabies vaccination website.

Please submit a report at the Health Sanitation Division window (Totsuka Ward Office, 6th floor, 64th floor) or the Yokohama City Electronic Application and Notification System.

There is no charge.
