The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department will carry out special dog-control inspections and enforcement on 14 and 21 November 2026 at multiple locations across Hong Kong.
Checks will focus on public places where dogs gather. The department says staff will take enforcement action immediately, without prior warning, if they find a dog keeper has not controlled a dog as required by law.
The department reminds dog owners that dogs in public must be on a leash or otherwise effectively controlled. Dogs weighing 20kg or more must be securely held on a leash no longer than two metres.
