GCC Pushes for Mandatory Online Pet Registration to Foster Safer Communities

Chennai: The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) is urging pet owners across the city to complete the mandatory online registration of their pets. The move is part of a broader civic initiative aimed at enhancing urban animal welfare, public health, and overall community safety.

According to GCC officials, pet registration plays a key role in creating a responsible pet ownership culture. It enables the quick identification of lost animals, ensures proper vaccination tracking, and supports efforts to control the spread of zoonotic diseases. Registered pets are easier to account for in urban planning and public health strategies, making the process essential, not optional.

How to Register Your Pet Online

The registration process is designed to be simple and convenient:

1. Go to chennaicorporation.gov.in.
2. Fill in your pet’s details, including.g name, breed, age, vaccination records, and owner contact information.
3. Submit the form to receive an official pet license from GCC.

The license serves as a record that can be used to access veterinary services, participate in welfare programs, and comply with municipal regulations.
Residents seeking help with the process can reach out to the GCC helpline at 044 26673037.

This initiative aligns with the Corporation’s larger vision for a clean, safe, and organized Chennai, wherein people and animals thrive together under a shared civic framework.
