On May 1 2022, Xiamen Public Security Bureau officially implemented the Notice on Regulating Dog Management, requiring Xiamen dogs to implement a management system of "grading and separate breeding and separate control by districts", which stipulates that all dogs must wear chips.
Relevant persons said that this move aims to better protect the personal and property safety of citizens, and at the same time, it will also help to trace the owner of dogs in cases of missing and wandering, and reduce the workload of urban management departments and the problem of dogs without owners.
2. Scope of application
These Provisions apply to all dogs in Xiamen, including pet dogs, guide dogs, drug detection dogs and rescue dogs. All dogs who have been in kennels or separate rooms for more than 6 months and do not go out casually must wear chips.
It should be noted that the dog's chip number should be clearly marked on the dog's collar or the specific position worn by others, otherwise the chip information cannot be read.
3. Chip information
The so-called dog chip is a microchip, the size of which is only the size of Mi Dou. After implantation, the chip in the dog will be assigned a unique code number, which will appear on the display screen of the scanner for easy identification.
There are many kinds of dog chips. The specifications of dog chips required by Xiamen University are "ISO standard11784/11785 FDX-B chip", which can be implanted from small dogs to large dogs and can support universal reading system.
4. Responsibility and Punishment
Dog owners are responsible for the implantation and wearing of dog chips. Dogs that are not implanted with chips or can't recognize chip information will be forcibly sent to law enforcement departments and fined up to 3,000 yuan.
In addition, if the dog chip information is invalid, the owner also needs to update the chip information in time, otherwise he will be fined.
