Dog registration system

If you have a dog that is ninety-one days old or older, please register the information of the owner and the dog on the Ministry of the Environment's microchip registration website. If your dog does not have a microchip, please visit the Ikebukuro Public Health Center to have a dog tag issued (the fee for issuing a tag is 3,000 yen).

Be sure to get a rabies shot!

Your dog should receive a rabies shot at a veterinary clinic between April 1 and June 30 each year. Please bring the rabies vaccination certificate the veterinary clinic gives you to the Ikebukuro Public Health Center, and we will issue you a rabies vaccination completion card (The fee is 550 yen).
