Questions about pet registration

If you have a pet, you should know that it is mandatory that it be identified and registered; Generally these records belong to the local administration (municipalities), although there are cases in which these powers have been transferred to the autonomous communities. All these registries are united into a single one called the Spanish Companion Animal Identification Network (REIAC).

The most common thing is that your veterinarian, when microchipping your pet, formalizes the registration in the local registry , which will then report the data to the national registry . But there are towns where, in addition to this procedure, it is necessary to go to municipal offices to register our pet; In this case we will have to take the animal's health card (European Pet Passport) to the corresponding municipal offices and deliver this documentation so that there is evidence of the existence of our pet.

This has many advantages and we should not stop doing it. For example, if the animal gets lost , through the chip they can locate us and tell us where it is. Furthermore, having an updated registry of pets is essential for public authorities to give our pet the importance they have, promoting their care and in this way abandonment is also avoided.

For all these reasons, at Dibaq Petcare we encourage you to have your pet properly registered with the competent administration . This way, in any circumstance that may arise, you will be sure that your dog or cat is perfectly identified. If you move from another autonomous community, you must also transfer the data of your pet.
