Request for Issuance of Directions to All Medical Institutions for Separate Recording of Dog Bites by Pet Dogs and Street Dogs – dated 04.08.2025

The Animal Welfare Board of India issued an advisory dated 04.08.2025 requesting directions to all medical institutions for separate recording of dog bites by pet dogs and street dogs. This advisory applies to state governments, municipal bodies, and medical institutions, asking them to maintain distinct records for incidents involving pet dogs versus street dogs.
