Hanoi will launch dog squads in its 12 downtown districts first by 2023, the municipal People’s Committee announced.

 

Nguyen Ngoc Son, head of the Hanoi Department of Animal Health, said dog squads are among measures to create "safe zones" in the city for rabies prevention. The aim is to inform pet owners about current regulations, fine owners who let their pets go out unmuzzled and unattended, and prevent animal attacks, he added.

 

Four inner districts: Hoan Kiem, Dong Da, Ba Dinh and Thanh Xuan have already launched dog squads in their wards. The animal health department is cooperating with the other eight inner districts, Bac Tu Liem, Cau Giay, Ha Dong, Hai Ba Trung, Hoang Mai, Long Bien, Nam Tu Liem and Tay Ho, to launch their own squads as well by 2023.
