You must identify the animal with an approved microchip.
This will mean immediate inclusion in the Galician Registry for the Identification of Pet and Potentially Dangerous Animals (REGIAC) dependent on the Xunta de Galicia.
This identification is mandatory for all “potentially dangerous” animals. As of July 2, 2003, microchip identification is mandatory for all dogs without exception.
At the time the REGIAC is established, identification can only be carried out by a veterinarian authorized by the Department of the Environment.
It must be carried out in the first 3 months of the animal's life or the month following its acquisition.
The owner will be present at the implantation of the microchip and must present a copy of the municipal license at the time the identification is requested.
