Mainland Dog Restrictions Enforced Inconsistently as Parts of Hangzhou Ban Large Dogs
Start here
On 26 October 2026, the Hong Kong Economic Times Life published an article by Lee Chiu-hing in the "China New" column, discussing the pet economy and noting that mainland dog restrictions are enforced differently across regions, with parts of Hangzhou recently imposing a total ban on keeping large dogs under fairly stringent measures. The report did not mention the specific practices of other cities, nor did it state the ban's effective date, details of its scope or its official basis. The progress known so far is limited to this: parts of Hangzhou have tightened to a total ban on keeping large dogs, while enforcement standards across the mainland are inconsistent.
