Is it necessary to chip pets in Belarus?

In Belarus, pet owners can chip their pets at will. This was stated on the air of the project “People’s GOST” on ONT by Elena Hila, a deputy of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the country, a member of the Standing Commission on Housing Policy, Trade and Construction.

The MP noted that the legislation of Belarus defines some measures for animal owners. So, registration of animals in our country is free, and chipping is not a mandatory procedure - each owner decides for himself whether to chip his pet or not.

In addition, older people do not have to pay animal tax.

Also, public and private veterinarians often conduct actions for free sterilization, vaccination and chipping of animals. Such actions are carried out so that there are fewer homeless animals on the streets and so that rabies does not spread.
