How to keep a banned dog in India?

March 20, 2024

The Central order

The central government now has written to the state governments asking them to ban the import, sale and breeding of certain dog breeds which are considered dangerous in India now.

PETA's involvement

Government bans 25 ferocious dog breeds from March 12, 2024, following expert recommendations and PETA's involvement.

Banned dog breeds

The breeds include Rottweiler, Pitbull, Terrier, Wolf dogs, and Mastiffs, which are deemed to be dangerous for human life.

What next?

The ban likely focuses on future ownership, so you can probably keep your current dog.

Government registration

Make sure your dog is registered to the government and you have to sterilize the dog to ensure and prevent any further breeding.

Responsible ownership

Responsible ownership is key. Ensure your dog is properly licensed, muzzled, and leashed in public places.
