Obligations of the owners

Identification

Pet identification is mandatory in the Valencian Community since 1996. It is currently carried out through an electronic microchip implant. This implant requires a surgical intervention that can only be performed by a registered veterinarian under proper hygienic and sanitary conditions.
Dog identification must be carried out within the animal’s first three months of life or in the month following its acquisition.
