What is a Pet Dog License & Why Should You Get It?

Are you a dog parent living in Hyderabad? If yes, then it is important you know that registering your pet with GHMC is now a legal requirement. A failure to do so can result in a fine of up to 50,000 rupees.
A dog license is a document issued annually by local municipal bodies to pet owners. Pet registration helps them keep a track of the pet population. It also ensures that all pets in the locality are vaccinated against diseases such as rabies, leptospirosis, etc. which is a requirement for registration. For pet parents, registering your pets legally establishes the ownership of the dog and can be crucial in case of disputes or if your dog gets lost or stolen.

Thankfully, the process has been simplified, due to the online portal created by GHMC. Here’s a quick guide on everything you need to know about the pet registration process in Hyderabad, the cost of application and renewal process.

Please note: As per our conversations with pet parents who registered their dog in 2023, dog owners had to submit this NOC signed by two neighbours and pay a nominal amount of 50 rupees while applying. However, at the time of publishing this article (18 Marc, 2024), we were able to obtain a dog license without them.
Pet registration is a simple and mandatory process for all pet owners in Hyderabad. It is important to comply with the law and register your pet to ensure their safety, health, and welfare. The process for pet registration online is pretty straightforward. So, if you are a dog parent in Hyderabad, ensure that your dog is registered and their registration is renewed annually, without fail to keep any legal hassles at bay.
