For dog and cat owners

When keeping a dog or cat, if the owner does not know the correct way to keep it, it not only harms the health of the animal but also causes trouble and harm to people. Owners have a responsibility to understand the habits and physiology of living animals and to care for them with affection for the rest of their lives.
In addition, we have received complaints from citizens about dogs being left free and droppings being taken for walks that have not been disposed of. Observe manners and keep a dog.

Let's keep it for life with love and responsibility. Owners who do not wish to breed should perform sterilization/neuter surgery. Spaying and neutering can also help prevent urine spray, rutting vocalizations, and fights between animals. It also has the advantage of being gentler and easier to handle.

If you have a dog, make sure it is properly trained. Training has become essential for humans and dogs to live well in the same society. At a minimum, teach your dog to "obey the owner's restraints," "do not bark unnecessarily," and "do not attack people or other animals."

Free-ranging dogs are prohibited by the Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance. In order to prevent troubles when taking a walk, be sure to attach a leash (leash, chain, etc.) to your dog.

Leaving droppings behind the fence can be very unpleasant. When taking your pet for a walk, be sure to take a disposal bag with you and take the droppings home with you. Also, in residential areas, excretion ( ) Make sure to do this before going out for a walk.

Please make sure to get your dog into the habit of defecating inside the house. Also, if your dog urinates on a gatepost or telephone pole, be sure to wash it off with water.

Dogs should be tagged, and cats and other animals should be tagged, in order to clarify where the owner is responsible and to facilitate the discovery of stranded animals. prize. It will also be useful in the case of large-scale disasters that are expected to occur in the future.

People who keep dogs are required to display a sign indicating that they keep a dog in a place that is easily visible from the outside, near the entrance to the land or building where the facility is located (Article 9 of the Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance on the Welfare and Management of Animals).
There is no set shape for dog signs. Please display something that shows that you have a dog in a visible place such as the entrance. If you make your own sign, please print it on waterproof (laminated) paper or regular paper and paste a waterproof sticker on top of it. Dog sign stickers are also available for distribution at the following address.
