For dog and cat owners

Update date: October 2, 2023

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.

Abandoning a dog or cat is punishable by law

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.

train your dog

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."

Let's stop letting dogs run loose

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.

Be sure to take the feces home

Abandoned feces are very unpleasant. When you go for a walk, be sure to take the waste bag with you and take it home with you. Also, in densely populated areas excretion ( exile ) Please go out for a walk after finishing
By getting into the habit of excreting in a specific place in the house, you won't have to deal with feces and urine when you go for a walk, and you won't have to go for a walk on rainy days. By all means, please let me wear the habit of excreting in the house. Also, if you urinate on gateposts, telephone poles, etc., be sure to wash it away with water.

Keep your cat indoors

If a cat has an exercise environment where it can move up and down, it can be safely kept without having an accident in the house. The key to successful indoor breeding is to devise ways to allow them to climb up on furniture so that they can move up and down.

Wear a license or name tag

Many animals get lost and cannot find their owners. 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.

Preparation for emergencies

A dog suddenly has to be hospitalized, an accident while out and about can't return home for a while, or the owner has passed away...
In times like these, is there anyone who can take care of the pets left at home? Pets cannot ask for help themselves. It is essential for you, the pet owner, to be prepared for emergencies.

Find someone to entrust your pet with

While you are still healthy, find someone who can take care of your pet in an emergency, such as someone who will take care of it temporarily or someone who will keep it for you for the rest of your life, and get that person's approval in advance. Let's keep it.

emergency contact card

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has created an emergency contact card. If you create an emergency contact card, you can let people around you know about your pet even if you are unable to do so yourself. You can fill in basic information about the owner and pet, your local veterinary hospital, and contact information for someone you can entrust your pet to in an emergency.
