A Law No. 8.015/2023 was enacted by the City Council and conceived by councilor Carlos Caiado (PSD – RJ) together with nine other parliamentarians. The text introduced the so-called General Animal Registry (RGA ) in the municipality.
According to the councilor, the new regulation plays an important auxiliary role in the development of public policies aimed at protecting animals and combating zoonoses.
The newly imposed law is already in full effect, although a period of 180 days has been established for citizens to make the necessary adaptations.
In addition, there is the consideration of extending the term to cover newborn animals, which would imply that registration becomes mandatory until the animals are six months old.
This measure aims to ensure that all tutors have the opportunity to comply with the new requirements in an adequate manner, guaranteeing the protection of animals.
To register the pet, it is essential that the document complies with the immunization program.
The person responsible for the animal assumes the obligation to communicate any changes in its registration, such as change of owner, death, disappearance or escape.
To register dogs and cats, you must access the sisbicho portal and follow the procedure, providing data relevant to the species.
You will also need to pay a fee stipulated by the municipal administration, which will cover the costs associated with inclusion in the register. In other states, such as Santa Catarina, there is already an RG for the pet, however, the document is not mandatory.
