Abu Dhabi to Launch Pet Registration Service on February 3

Pet owners in Abu Dhabi will soon be required to register their microchipped cats and dogs under a new animal ownership service set to launch on February 3, the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) announced.

One-Year Grace Period for Residents

Individual pet owners have a one-year grace period to complete their registration without penalties, while establishments owning pets must register within six months. Registration will be available through veterinary facilities and the TAMM portal starting next month. The service is free until further notice, providing an accessible option for pet owners.

Key Objectives of the Initiative

The new service aims to establish a centralized database of pets and their owners to improve animal welfare and promote responsible pet ownership. Its primary goals include:

• Reducing the stray animal population

• Tracking pet records

• Enabling proper identification

• Highlighting pet health through annual vaccinations, microchipping, and veterinary care

This initiative reflects Abu Dhabi's commitment to enhancing animal welfare and fostering a safer, healthier environment for pets and their owners.
