Pet owners can also visit the MC office to collect and submit the form there after filling it. So far, 9,500 pet dogs have been registered with the corporation. Failure to register a pet dog will invite a fine of Rs 5,000.

The registration of pet dogs is all the more important now as the MC is planning to start a challaning drive against the violators.

An MC official said they would first issue a public notice asking people to register their pets in the next few days. After that, the enforcement wing of the corporation would be asked to start issuing challans from April.

Though the MC has no count of pet dogs in the city, the figure is estimated to be around 13,000 to 14,000.

There have been complaints from residents regarding inconvenience caused to them by pet dogs. Pooping by dogs in parks and pet dog-bite cases have been a concern of many residents. Residents say owners of dogs should be held accountable for any problem caused by the pets.
