Key Takeaway: Abu Dhabi has introduced compulsory pet registration for microchipped cats and dogs through the TAMM portal, with a one-year grace period for individual pet owners and six months for establishments. Registration is currently free of charge.

Pet owners in Abu Dhabi must now follow new regulations as the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) rolls out its comprehensive pet registration service. Starting 3 February 2025, this initiative marks a significant step forward in animal welfare management across the emirate.

What Pet Owners Need to Know

The registration process applies to all microchipped cats and dogs in Abu Dhabi. Here’s what you should know about the new system:

  • Individual pet owners have a 12-month window to register without facing penalties
  • Businesses and establishments must complete registration within six months
  • The service will be available through the TAMM portal
  • Registration is free until further notice
  • Pet owners can visit veterinary facilities to complete the registration process

Benefits of the New System

The DMT’s initiative aims to create a centralised database that will:

  1. Help control the stray animal population
  2. Maintain accurate pet records
  3. Support proper pet identification
  4. Boost animal welfare standards

Healthcare Requirements

The registration system emphasises essential pet healthcare elements:

  • Regular veterinary check-ups
  • Annual vaccination schedules
  • Mandatory microchipping

How to Register Your Pet

When the service launches on the TAMM portal, pet owners should:

  1. Visit an approved veterinary facility
  2. Provide necessary documentation
  3. Complete the registration process
  4. Receive confirmation of registration

Looking Ahead

This registration system reflects Abu Dhabi’s commitment to responsible pet ownership and animal welfare. The grace period offers pet owners ample time to comply with the new requirements while avoiding penalties.
