The municipality of Maricá is implementing a new digital infrastructure to modernize animal welfare and protection services. The initiative centers on the launch of ConectaPet, a digital platform designed to centralize municipal services and reduce bureaucracy for pet owners.

Following the announcement of the platform, the city launched a microchipping and registration program for cats and dogs. This program allows residents to obtain a digital ‘RG Animal’ for official identification. As part of the rollout, animals receive a free microchip to assist in reuniting lost pets with owners and to help authorities manage vaccination, population control, and zoonosis prevention. The platform also facilitates access to municipal neutering programs.
