Tierärztliche Bescheinigung über die Kennzeichnung eines Hundes nach der Thüringer Chippflichtverordnung

All dogs in Thuringia must be identified with a microchip. This is injected by a veterinarian and contains a transponder number, which ensures an exact assignment of the dog. As proof, every dog owner receives a certificate from the veterinarian.

According to § 2 paragraph 4 Thuringian Law for the Protection of the Population against Animal Dangers (ThürTierGefG) every owner of a dog is obliged to mark his dog with a microchip. The veterinarian must issue proof of this identification; compare § 2 paragraph 1 Thüringer Chippflichtverordnung (ThürChipVO). A standardized state form has been created for veterinarians. This proof is to be handed over to the responsible regulatory authority, compare § 3 paragraph 2 ThürChipVO.

The identification must be carried out by all dog owners within three months of acquiring the dog, unless the dog is only staying in Thuringia temporarily (e.g. as part of a vacation) (for a maximum of two months).

With the acquisition of a dog, the identification of the dog with a chip must take place within three months. This identification obligation begins when the dog is three months old.

Within three months from the beginning of keeping the dog, the identification must be made.
