When do puppies need to start wearing their dog license?

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone of you know when to start letting the puppy wear the license? Any rules from MPPJ?
I didn't have a problem with my first dog and he only started wearing the license when he was about a year old.
But yesterday the MPPJ ppl made their rounds. I dunno what they were trying to check exactly but when they saw Sparkle they asked about his license. Luckily I was home early from work and I told them that he's still a baby and the license might be too big and heavy for him. The MPPJ guy just said this time he'll let me 'off' but the next time they come to check and if he still doesn't have a license they'll have to 'ambil tindakan'.
I also don't know what he meant by 'ambil tindakan'. Take Sparkle away? Issue me a compound?
By right it shouldn't be a problem if they don't check cause Sparkle stays indoors the whole day. But my mum said she read somewhere in the papers that some of these people actually shot a dog belonging to someone through the gate because the dog wasn't wearing a license! Wow..can they actually do that??!

hi...
I too was wondering abt this issue as I have yet to get a license for mocha coz someone told me once that I only need to get them a license when they are abt a year old. I guess we better get this verified before anything happens to our dog.

we get it from the local council. My mum went to get it from the MPPJ and only paid RM10 for it I think. Nope, no need to bring cert. And it says on the tag the year of the license, a license number and "lesen anjing MPPJ".
But what I'm not sure is at what age b4 I should let Sparkle wear the license. As it is, he's not even wearing his collar yet!!

Hi all, For all those in KL, you can get the license in TTDI DBKL or there's an office near Sogo, I don't think u need wear the tag all the time, it's only for when the DBKL people come to check, then u just show them, it's a must to get a tag, but sometimes you can get away if your dog stays indoor. But it's better to play safe, it's only RM 10/yr.

Hi,
Different councils hv different requirements when applying for dog licence....MPPJ is very easy to obtain one....you don't need to show any records...but other councils like MPSJ or DBKL, they're more strict....if i'm not mistaken you hv to show vaccination records and stuff like that....so it all depends on where you stay.

I went to MPSJ for Dog License last month. I need to show Snowy's vaccination records in order to get one. Its stated at the board somewhere over there that your dog must be at least 3 month old to have a license but that time Snowy was just 2 month old but they gave it to me anyway. It cost me RM15 but I have waited for more than 100 people before I get my turn to pay because the payment counter was so packed, but not all q-ing up for dog license. I think its nessasary to put on the dog license everytime you bring your dog out.

Yah same with MPPJ...long queue even on weekdays...i agree, it's better if your dog puts on his license when you take him out or if he's an outdoor dog...it's good to not give them any reason to take our dogs away

yup, agreed. I think better to have it on all the time if possible just in case the come in to the house to check like they did in my house! If they do take our dogs away, we can't really argue with them too
But currently Sparkle is only 8 weeks old so I think the license is too big for him. anyway, will still get one for back up! RM10 is nothing compared to the trouble we need to go through if they do check again!
Funny leh...i don't remember my mum telling me that they looked at the vaccination records. She told me it was pretty easy. But I think this time better ask her to bring it along just in case they just recently changed the rules!
I asked my uncle from Seremban the other day and he said they only pay RM5 in seremban to MPS. Funny this isn't regulated.
Hey, did you guys know that residents in Shah Alam cannot own dogs? My colleague lives there and she said most of her friends refused to move to Shah Alam cause dogs are not allowed there! Is that true??

I went to renew my dog's license early this year. and the officer told me that they MIGHT stop using license starting from next year, and every dog has to be microchipped. That will make life easier coz you don't need to renew it every year.

There's no such thing as cat licence in Malaysia. That issue was brought up when DBKL wanna impose a hike in the dog licence fees. Kinda unfair, right? But there's nothing much we can do.
If your dog is born before March 2002, you can still send her for microchipping at the vet clinics. If not mistaken, the fees is RM50.00. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Microchipping is not only limited to pedigrees. You can send your pet for microchipping eventhough it's not a pedigree. The main purpose of this procedures is to ensure a happy return of a lost pet and can be done at most veterinary clinics.
Please refer to this link for more information on microchipping and its procedures. www.pubaa.com/info/microchip/microchip_1.htm

hi,
i fully agreed what gina said......microchipis just for the identification for the dog onwer is not a license by the local goverment...even if your dog is microchip you still need to get a license from a local goverment.....if you stay in PJ plan to apply for dog license make sure you go early .......
