Looks like the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) is all set to begin the New Year with a bang. Starting January 1, 2025, the corporation is making pet dog registration mandatory, a move aligned with the National Action Plan for Dog Mediated Rabies Elimination (NAPRE).
The initiative aims to maintain the city’s rabies-free status and strengthen public health efforts.
By October 2025, AMC plans to introduce RFID microchips for all registered dogs. These chips will contain a Unique Identification Number (UIN), enabling authorities to track the vaccination and registration status of pets more effectively.
The city of Ahmedabad has an estimated 50,000 to 55,000 pet dogs. Although the city has not reported any rabies cases in the last five years, AMC’s proactive approach aims to sustain this record.
According to an AMC official, this initiative ensures not only rabies prevention but also better management of pet dog populations. For many, this step defines responsibilities for pet owners, fostering a safer and healthier environment for all.
Pet owners in Ahmedabad are encouraged to prepare for this new policy by gathering the necessary documents and ensuring their pets are up to date on vaccinations. The initiative underscores AMC’s commitment to public health, safety, and animal welfare.
