The Finnish Food Authority’s registry, effective from Tuesday, now has the capacity to accommodate dogs of associations and companies. This progressive step has broadened the scope of the countrywide dog registry.Previously, the registry only housed information provided by private individuals since its launch in May this year.
The deployment of this potentially contentious dog registry aims to ultimately enable the introduction of microchips for every dog in Finland. This all-encompassing initiative necessitates that all dogs in the country are registered by the end of the year. It is estimated that Finland has more than 800,000 dogs, according to the March estimation by the Finnish Kennel Club.
The upcoming Dog Register aims to record identification and ownership details of all dogs that permanently reside within Finland’s borders. This mandatory dog registry is a pioneering step towards canine management and regulation in Finland. As the country moves towards this milestone, the enlargement of the register to include working dogs owned by associations and businesses is a vital step towards achieving a thorough canine record-keeping system.
