What Is a Dog License, and Why Should You Get It?
A dog license is issued by local governing bodies to people who own dogs. Pet registration helps municipal authorities keep track of the pet population. It also ensures that all pets in that locality are vaccinated against diseases such as rabies, leptospirosis, etc. which is a requirement for registration.
For pet parents, the dog license establishes the ownership of the dog, which can be crucial in case of disputes or if your dog gets lost or stolen. In case of a dog-bite, the municipal authorities have the legal authority to take your dog away, if they are not registered. Since the dog license is legal proof of your dog being vaccinated against infectious diseases such as rabies, there may be leniency shown in terms of repercussions for the dog owner.

How to Get Your Dog License in Bangalore?
Registering your dog is not mandated through a formal BBMP Act yet, so the application and registration process is a little unclear. We do not have provisions to apply online for a dog license in Bangalore, either. For offline dog registration, here are the detailed steps to help you go about it:
- Pet parents can register their dogs by visiting their municipal offices or pet registration camps, conducted by BBMP.
Currently, the BBMP office in Frazer Town appears to be the only place where dog registration is being carried out in Bangalore.
Contact number: 080-22975801
Address: No.E 41/10, Lazer Layout, Frazer Town, Bangalore - 560005
- Carry two-three copies of your identity proof, address proof, and your dog’s vaccination certificates (especially updated for rabies and 7-in-1 vaccinations records).
- BBMP issues a dog license book for each, individual dog.
- Fill up the application form and your dog’s license book with details about you and your dog.
- Submit the necessary documents and pay the due fees of 110 Rupees (subject to change).
- Ensure that you get the necessary signatures and stamps in the license book.
- That’s it! Your dog is now registered with the BBMP.
Drogo is proud to have his very own Pet Dog License Book.
What Are the Rules & Regulations for Owning a Dog License in Bangalore?
BBMP’s Pet Dog License Book contains certain rules and regulations when it comes to owning a dog license in Bangalore, such as regular annual vaccinations. Violation of these rules can lead to the cancellation of the dog license and your dog may be taken into custody by the Municipal Corporation. Here are certain rules pet parents should be mindful of:
1. The owner of the dog/the person in charge must provide the dog with the food, water, and space it needs at all times.
2. Dog owners should get their dogs medically examined by a veterinarian and vaccinated against disease at least once a year, and should provide appropriate medical care for illnesses/accidents.
3. The owner of the dog shall treat the dog as his companion and shall not subject it to medical experimental procedures for any reason.
4. If there are other domestic animals in the house of the dog owner, he must have a certificate of vaccination against all the animals required.
5. It is the dog owner's responsibility to ensure that the dog has a proper leash when it is taken out of the house and to clean it up when it defecates in public places.
6. Dog owners should not leave them outside without proper supervision.
7. A license is issued every year at a license fee of Rs. 50/- should be renewed and purchased.

How Do You Renew Your Dog License in Bangalore?
Every dog license approved by BBMP is valid for the year and has to be renewed annually. The renewal process for dog licenses in Bangalore would be pretty similar to the registration process, but much simpler since your dog is already registered with the municipal corporation. Pay the sum of 50/- and get your dog registered.
Pet registration is an essential part of pet parenting in Bangalore. It is important to comply with the law and register your pet to ensure its safety, health, and welfare. So, if you are a dog parent in Bangalore, ensure that your dog is registered and their registration is renewed annually, without fail!
