Yes, you can have a pet in Chengdu, but there are strict regulations governing the types of animals allowed and the responsibilities of the owner. Only dogs and cats are officially classified as pets for import, with a limit of one pet per adult traveler. Foreigners can now register their dogs personally using their passport through the online system 蓉城犬管, which requires uploading immunization records, a photo of the dog, and owner identification. It is mandatory to register your dog annually with the local police, and owners must ensure pets are fully vaccinated against rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. Importantly, Chengdu has a ban on 22 specific "dangerous" dog breeds in its five main districts, including Mastiffs, Pit Bull Terriers, German Shepherds, and Akita, so you must verify your dog's breed before moving. When in public, dogs must be kept on a leash, and owners are legally required to clean up after their pets. Failure to comply with registration or breed restrictions can result in the animal being seized by authorities. Additionally, many landlords include no-pet clauses in rental contracts, so it is essential to confirm pet policies with your landlord before moving in.
