BANGKOK, Nov 4 (TNA) – Bangkok is preparing to enact a new ordinance to regulate pet ownership within urban areas, aiming to prevent disturbances caused by both domestic and stray animals.

Soi Dog Foundation calls for tougher enforcement of dog and cat breeding welfare laws

The ordinance will mandate microchipping for dogs and cats to identify owners, limit the number of pets allowed per household based on living space, and promote sterilization programs for stray animals.

The ordinance, which will take effect 360 days after its publication in the Royal Gazette, sets strict limits on the number of pets allowed based on living space. Residents in condominiums or rental rooms of 20-80 square meters will be restricted to one pet, while those with larger properties can keep up to six animals.
