Mandatory registration of dogs and cats in KROPiK

The act introduces mandatory registration of all dogs and cats in the National Register of Marked Dogs and Cats (KROPiK). Every owner must microchip their pet and register it in the system, which aims to help identify owners and reduce animal homelessness.
Key points
Mandatory microchipping and registration of dogs (before first rabies vaccination or change of ownership) and cats (by 3 months of age).
Penalties for non-registration: from fines up to 200% of average salary for companies and institutions.
Owners can update data themselves via the mObywatel app, including reporting lost pets.
Animal shelters and foster homes must register admitted animals; municipalities may refund marking costs.
Data stored for 5-30 years; access granted to veterinary services, police and municipal guards.
