Which pets are required to be registered? Are there penalties for failing to register pet dogs and cats?
In Taipei City, it's mandatory to implant a microchip and complete pet registration for both dogs and cats! Citizens can register their pets at designated registration stations (such as animal hospitals) authorized by the Animal Protection and Health Inspection Office. The registration fee at any of these stations is uniformly set at NT$250 for the microchip implantation procedure. Failure to comply with the pet registration regulations may result in a fine ranging from NT$10,000 to NT$50,000 upon discovery. Offenders will be given a deadline to rectify the situation. Failure to do so may result in continued penalties until compliance is achieved.
