I for one am happy that there will now be a fine of 10,000+ DHS if an owner does not have a licence for their dog or it is not kept on a leash in public places. I have seen owners walking ahead of their unleashed pets while the dog is going to the toilet and pretending it is nothing to do with them. Leaving the poor street cleaners to clean up the disgusting mess or some poor unobservant walker the delight of stepping in it.
While I understand the joy for any dog to be running free there should be more designated areas for them to do this.
People need to be more accountable for their animals.
Too many dogs are just being left abandoned here and cats too, its just plain cruel.
Just wonder exactly how this will be implemented though?

The new laws are in Dubai too. A new license is also required by June. This law regarding licenses are for other emirates as Dubai has alway had a pet registration rule which we have been renewing yearly. I spoke to our vets who said the same and others contacted DM, who said it's just registration along with annual vaccinations. Whats good is, they are making it mandatory to vaccinate now so, pet owners can breath easier when they meet another pet or are at the groomers.

BTW I agree that leaving dog mess for someone else to clear up is unacceptable. As a dog owner myself I would never do this and nor would most people I know. It's the irresponsible minority that are ruining it for everyone.

Seasand, could you share the source of this please. I honestly would like to see a law where parents and children are held responsible for abusing and torturing dogs, cats and animals in general. I am tired of no action taken on these types of people who are raising the next generation. Also, more dog friendly apartments as not everyone can afford villas. How about regulating pet shops from selling animals instead of just banning them from residential apartments.

There should also be a fine for any owner that abonded their dog or dump it in a shelter.
