For pet owners in Penang, we just want to highlight this:

“Penang health exco Dr Afif Bahardin said the state had an estimated 10,000 stray dogs, with 4,300 found on Penang island. The rest are owner-registered, licensed and vaccinated.

He advised dog owners to vaccinate their pets, as failing to do so prevented them from getting dog licences and could see them being fined RM5,000.

He said Penang had enough rabies vaccine in government agencies, such as the state Veterinary Services Department offices in Bukit Tengah and Jalan Gurdwara, and the Seberang Prai Municipal Council, as well as private animal clinics.

He also encouraged pet owners to get “pet passports” from the department.

The passport, a form of identification for pets that comes with a microchip injected under the animals’ skin, is now available at a discounted price of RM7. It usually costs RM35.”

SPCA Penang

SPCA Penang's main objectives are to prevent the unnecessary suffering of animals and to ensure responsible pet ownership. Hence the Society acts to prevent cruelty to animals and promotes kindness towards them by fostering an intelligent public interest regarding Man's duty animals.

Though the Society is sometimes compelled to put down an animal, our work covers a much more wider scope of rescuing, rehabilitating, healing and re-homing the animals.
