Points to Keep in Mind when Owning a Dog or Cat ［犬・猫の飼い方･相談について］
Complaints about droppings and barks of dogs and cats are increasing recently. If you keep dogs and/or cats, please take following
actions for not to bother the neighbors.
■ How to own a dog
・ You are required by law to register your dog (once in its lifetime) and to have your dog vaccinated against rabies (Once a year).
・ You are required by law to keep your dog on a leash, so be sure to follow it.
・ To prevent your dog from barking in vain, take your dog for a walk to relieve stress.
・ There have been complaints about people leaving their dog's droppings without cleaning them up while walking.
Please prepare a bag and be sure to take the droppings home.
・ Puppies born unwanted are often abandoned, leading to an increase in stray dogs. Consider spaying or neutering.
■ How to own a cat
Cats are not obligated to be kept on a leash or registered like dogs, but that does not mean you can keep them any way you want.
・ Kittens born unwanted are often abandoned, leading to an increase in stray cats. Consider spaying or neutering.
・ Put a collar or stray plate on your cat in case it gets lost, and keep your cat indoors as much as possible.
・ Set up a litter box in your house and litter train your cat.
・ Never take care of cats (animals) just for the sake of feeding them.
If you feed stray cats in parks, etc., as the owner of that cat, take proper care of it at home and keep it in a responsible manner.
■ Consultation Counter for Dogs and Cats:
Animal Protection Center Eastern Branch Office 0276-55-0731※ The town will subsidize part of the cost of spaying or neutering your dog or cat.
