Hong Kong dog licences are issued by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD). All dogs aged 3 months can be vaccinated, microchipped and licensed, and the first application must be completed before they turn 5 months old; the licence is valid for 3 years. Dog Licence Application Process From 3 months of age a dog can be given the rabies vaccination, implanted with a microchip and licensed, and this must be done before it turns 5 months old. No appointment is needed — you can attend an AFCD district Animal Management Centre, a vaccination and licensing station, a private veterinary clinic or an SPCA centre. Steps at a glance: Bring your dog and the required documents to the service location in person. Have the vaccination given on-site (first-time or renewal) and the microchip implanted (first-time). After paying the $80 fee (AFCD service), collect the dog licence on the spot or by post. If you apply online, bring your dog to a centre for verification within 14 days, providing the application reference number.

In Hong Kong, where space is scarce and people are many, pet owners often find that a building's Deed of Mutual Covenant strictly bans keeping cats and dogs, turning house-hunting and renting into a real headache when you don't know how to find a suitable place. That's why we've built this Hong Kong pet-friendly estates database — to help furkid parents quickly narrow down the estates and buildings where cats and dogs are allowed, so the whole family, furkids included, can settle in happily and comfortably. Using the interactive drop-down menus, you can browse over a hundred up-to-date listings by region and sub-district — covering Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories — for easy searching. This database brings together information from various sources — not only solving the problem of there being no central database, but also promoting a pet-inclusive way of life, so that more families in Hong Kong can live in their ideal home without the worry. Sources and Recommendations This database is compiled mainly from publicly available online information and reliable sources; it is not an official central database. Before relying on it, users must personally check the building's Deed of Mutual Covenant or contact…
