The first stage of the launch of the Unified State Register of Pets has started in Ukraine, with veterinarians being authorized, Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Vitaliy Koval said in a telegram.
“The Unified State Register of Pets is a state register on the Diia.Engine platform. It will store data on cats, dogs, and ferrets: the name and description of the animal, information on vaccination and biosterilization, contacts of owners or keepers, and other data essential for animal health,” the minister said.
Koval reminded that the registry’s goal is to help prevent the spread of dangerous diseases more effectively, harmonize Ukrainian animal treatment legislation with the European one, and foster a culture of responsible owners who take proper care of their pets.
The register will be introduced in two stages. At the first stage, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy will focus on engaging veterinary clinics and doctors to work with the platform.
Veterinarians must submit an application to the State Service for Food Safety and Consumer Protection. To do this, the head of the veterinary medicine institution fills out an application in the office in the Register. The State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection checks the data provided, approves or rejects the application within 10 business days and sends a notification of the result of the review to the applicant’s e-mail.
After the authorization is confirmed, the head of the veterinary institution will be able to enter data on veterinarians who will directly register animals in the Register. After that, veterinarians-registration agents must log in to their offices in the Register and complete their data.
After authorization, the veterinary institution will be ready to start registering pets with the official start of the second stage of the Registry launch. The Ministry of Agrarian Policy will announce the pet registration campaign later.
As reported, the Unified State Register of Pets is a joint project of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection, and the Ministry of Digital Transformation.
