Paldal District: "We'll Support Your Animal Registration Fees"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Paldal District in Suwon launched its animal registration fee support program on the 20th.

The program provides microchips used for 'implanted animal registration' to reduce the financial burden on pet owners registering their animals. Pet owners who wish to register their dogs need only cover the consultation fee (10,000 won) to complete animal registration.

The program applies to dogs over three months old. Any resident of Paldal District can visit a designated veterinary clinic, consult with a veterinarian, and complete animal registration. A list of participating veterinary clinics is available on the Paldal District website under 'Paldal District News.'

A district official stated, "According to the recently amended Animal Protection Act, all dogs two months of age or older must be registered for animal registration. Violations result in fines of up to 1 million won, so we urge pet owners who have not yet registered their dogs to take advantage of this program."

A 'Spring Rabies Prevention Vaccination Support Program' is also underway, offering rabies vaccination at a cost of 5,000 won. For inquiries, contact the district's Industry Division (031-228-7355).
