Insurance and chip for dogs

Liability insurance for dogs from the age of 7 months (so that victims of biting attacks are not left with their costs) is mandatory. Dogs, regardless of breed, must also be registered via electronic chip.

Liability insurance with coverage of at least:

• 500.000,00 € for personal injuries
• 250.000,00 € for property damage

Info about the chip:

• obligatory for every dog (also for older dogs)
• can be inserted by any veterinarian (also in other states)
• already inserted chips must NOT be replaced
• chip should be inserted up to 6 months (if inserted too early, it can shift and not sit on the shoulder where it belongs)
• completely harmless (also for older dogs)
• on the chip is a number stored in the central dog register (under construction)
