It turns out how many dogs live on the Balaton shore 🐕

The attention of dog owners living and vacationing in the settlements along the Balaton shore is drawn to the dog census, which also affects local animal keeping habits. The municipalities around the Balaton are required to carry out this administrative task every three years to get an accurate picture of the number and condition of dogs kept in the region.

Based on Section 42/b (1) of Act XXVII of 1998, dog owners must register their pets during the census, including the microchip, vaccinations and the place of keeping. In the Balaton region this is especially important in holiday zones, where many seasonal residents bring their dogs for lakeside walks or fishing.

Local authorities in the villages and towns around the Balaton conduct the survey to prevent problems caused by stray dogs near the beaches. The census also helps make traffic safer along the lakeshore during storm warnings or summer traffic.

🐕 For owners of dog-friendly places around the Balaton, timely registration makes later procedures easier, for example when using local dog parks or veterinary services. It is advisable to contact the competent notary’s office as soon as possible to avoid later inconveniences at lakeside properties.
