Other pets will have to be certified in 2012. “As per the world experience, all pets have to be identified and have a passport. Kazakhstan is also taking measures to improve the pets database. Every owner will have a passport for each pet,” said Moldagulov. Under a new procedure of certification and identification, the owners will bear responsibility for their pets care.
