20th - 26th September is Be Kind to Animals Week.

Be Kind to Animals Week is held to enhance public understanding about the welfare of animals, which are living beings. Please understand the habits and nature of your pets and continue to look after them with love and responsibility throughout their lives.

It is compulsory for dogs to be registered once in their lifetime and for them to receive a rabies vaccination once a year. After registering with the Health and Welfare Subsection of any Regional City Office, please receive your dog license and vaccination tag.

Please be careful of diseases that can be transmitted from pets. Take preventative measures such as not sharing spoons or dishes with your pets, and ensuring pet hygiene through thorough grooming and nail trimming.

The section in charge is the Life Hygiene Counseling Subsection of the Life Hygiene Section at Minato Public Health Center.
