Best Practices for Dog Owners
Dog-owners, kindly practice responsible pet-ownership and help keep our environment safe and clean:
1) Clean up after your dog(s) by using a bag to pick up the poop and disposing of it properly.
2) Take a water bottle when you walk the dog so you can wash off urine if your dog urinates inside the condo.
3) When passing others, especially in small or confined spaces such as lifts, please keep your dog(s) close to your side.
4) License you dog. Under the Animals and Birds (Dog Licensing and Control) Rules, all dogs must be licensed and the licence must be kept up to date for the purpose
of traceability in the event of an outbreak, such as rabies.
5) Leashing the dog is part of being a responsible pet owner. Dog breeds specified in The Act must be muzzled in public.
6) Register your pet at the condo management office.
It’s a good practice to understand your responsibilities before becoming a pet owner. Here are the Animals and Birds (Dog Licensing and Control) Rules for your reference. You can find the list of breeds to be muzzled here:
