Keeping a Dog in an HDB Flat in Singapore.
Quick Reference:
To get HDB’s approval for your Shiba Inu, these are the core steps:
1. Microchip your Shiba Inu.
2. Register for the license with AVS.
3. Get a certificate of attendance from a registered dog trainer.
4. Ensure vaccination records are well updated.
5. Ensure the address registered with AVS is the same as your residential address.
6. Write to HDB with all the relevant documents above.
Read on for more.
Important Note: This is an opinion piece, we are not affiliated or work with HDB in any way. We will not be able to tell you if you are successful in getting your dog HDB-approved. Please check directly with HDB.
Are Shiba Inus banned in Singapore? No. Is the Shiba Inu an HDB-approved dog breed? No. What about Mame Shiba Inu Singapore? No. So you live in an HDB but want to buy a Shiba Inu, or maybe other breeds like Cockapoo, Corgi, French Bulldog, or Pomsky (and the list goes on) that are not HDB approved dogs. There are some mixed breeds dogs like Cavapoo are HDB approved but that’s just hearsay. There are important facts you must know. These aforementioned are not approved and require you to get approval from HDB. Luckily, they do make exceptions (sometimes). Read on to learn more.
In Singapore, under the Housing Development Board (HDB), there are things to note. Under the HDB Animals Rules 1989, HDB only allows one dog of an approved small breed to be kept in each residential unit. You can face a fine of up to S$4,000 if you fail to comply with HDB’s rule. You can apply for approval for a breed that’s not-approved, we’ll be sharing an example of how we got our non-approved dog approved for HDB.
Yes, there is a list of HDB approved dogs you can have in the HDB. You can refer to the list below or check out this list from HDB’s Website which is constantly updated with HDB approved dog breeds.
Are Mixed Breed Dogs, are they HDB-approved dogs?
As long as their mix is within the list above, it should not be a problem. However, we understand that if the mix includes one of the above, but the other is not, it is then not HDB-approved and you would have to appeal. This includes previous popular breeds like the Pinsky which is a Pomeranian cross-bred with a Siberian Husky. Whilst they got away with this when they were first introduced, apparently, HDB no longer allows them (hearsay) as some have had more Siberian Husky traits which includes (but not limited to) growing to the size of a full-fledged Siberian Husky.
Bigger Breeds?
If you like bigger dogs, you can consider adopting one under the Project ADORE. Under that scheme, dogs up to 55cm tall, with no weight limit, can be re-homed to HDB flats. They cannot be bought from shops or breeders but must come from one of five participating welfare groups - the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), Action for Singapore Dogs, Save Our Street Dogs, Exclusively Mongrels and Causes for Animals. For more information on this, you can visit the Ministry of National Development website.
AVS Dog License
If you are going to keep a dog that is within the approved list by HDB, you don’t need any form of special approval. But either way, you would need to get a dog license from NParks: Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS). Recently, with effect from 1 Sep 2020, you will be able to apply for a one-time licence for sterilised dogs that is valid throughout the life of the dog. Three-year licences for non-sterilised dogs will automatically be changed to a one-time licence when you update the dog's sterilisation status. This lowers the fee by quite a bit and makes it more convenient without the need to pay yearly. We definitely would recommend you to get the lifetime license.
The Illegal Route (or not so legal route - Not Recommended)
There are people, maybe even certain pet stores who will share the brilliant method to get past this, which is to simply register the non-HDB-approved dog to a condominium or private property, but keep the dog in your HDB flat. Bad idea for one dog, much less more than one. Keeping more than 1 dog on the list of approved dogs for HDB living, or keeping a dog not found within this list, may land you a fine of up to $4,000. It is also likely you will have to re-home your dog, meaning to give it up. Of course unless you’re wealthy enough then to just cough out the money to buy a private property. Note that even for private property owners, the maximum number of dogs you can own is 3 (assuming they are not specified dogs - read more). You can however, request for more, but must write in to AVS.
So you still want a Shiba Inu or a non-HDB approved dog?
Back to the main topic. However, for some, they want a breed that may not be on the HDB approved list. There is still hope. You can explain your case and get an exception. For example, Kuro is a Shiba Inu in Singapore that is not on the HDB approved dog list. We wrote to HDB to ask for pre-approval months before Kuro came into our lives. We wrote to hdb@mailbox.hdb.gov.sg - don’t forget to include your full name and HDB residential address.
UPDATE (use the HDB form): As one of our kind users indicated, you have to reach HDB through their e-feedback form https://hdb.gov.sg/efeedback as their email address is no longer in use. If you have or are after a mixed breed dog and uncertain if they are approved, rather than rely on hearsay, check in with them!
Getting HDB Approval for Kuro the Shiba Inu Singapore
The process is fairly straightforward as HDB will then come back to you with a note to say that “although the Shiba Inu is a non-approved breed which is not in HDB’s approved list, it is considered a smaller breed which has been assessed to be temperamentally suitable to be kept in an HDB flat. Hence you bay obtain HDB’s approval to keep a Shiba Inu in your flat”. There are a couple of conditions, including:
There must be no prior complaint on the dog.
Send the dog for obedience training by an AVA accredited dog trainer. You must produce proof of completion of the obedience training course (e.g. a completion certificate). UPDATE: As one of our kind users indicated, you need to send the dog for obedience training but you no longer need to do so with an AVS accredited dog trainer anymore. This may or may not save you some money.
Sign an undertaking letter to ensure that the dog does not cause nuisance.
Apply for a dog license with AVS.
Once 1 to 4 are completed, send the proof to HDB and you will be provided a formal approval letter. All documentation will be provided by HDB. The big question you have is, how do I go through those 4 steps if I don't even have my dog yet? As long as you agree with them and that you’ll go through this process, you can get your dog first and follow up with the actual approval.
There are quite a few accredited dog trainers, and they are available here or on the AVS website. I went with Patrick Wong of Waggie. Training Kuro, a Shiba Ibu was tough initially, but she was always the most improved dog. She didn’t pass the eventual test, though she did very well (best in class) for the mock test. I was disappointed, but we did not want the pressure of passing the test since all we needed was the completion certificate. Now, would I recommend them? Yes, because to date, Kuro still remembers all her training (or most of it), despite hating every moment.
We got Kuro shortly after and went through the entire process which took just about 3 months. And the rest is history as they say. You don’t have to do it early like we did, many Shiba Inn owners bought their dog before embarking on this process.
ANOTHER UPDATE (additional requirements): We have seen references via the Shiba Inu Facebook Group that getting your Shiba Inu approved, has nothing to do with the Town Council (what we pretty much already know) but different HDB branches may require different documents (hearsay) and there are some like Bishan that has additional requirements like a note from the vet that your dog is indeed a Shiba Inu - this is likely because there have been a few cases (that we know of) where pet owners have declared their dog as a Shiba Inu but it really is (a random example) a Shikouku Ken which can weigh in at 20kg. Learn more about other Japanese dogs here. Uncertain if this is at random, as many other Shiba Inu owners have not encountered something similar, but just so you know!
What happens when you aren’t approved?
There is a chance that this will happen, even though we got Kuro approved. There are many reasons for this and unfortunately, the process doesn’t seem very transparent. I would say most Shiba Inus tend to get approved because of their size. However, if you are looking at other breeds, there might be various reasons beyond the size. We would say, if it’s the dog of your dreams, fight for it. Appeal. Some have even spoken to their respective MPs, for help. Some have won, some are still trying. We have many who write in to us to ask for advice, we’re more than happy to help, just note that we aren’t from HDB and like we mentioned it seems rather inconsistent and the process isn’t exactly transparent, but we’ll do our best for sure!
Read first before getting a Shiba Inu as your first dog.

Pets aren't "just animals." They're family, with bonds sometimes deeper and purer than many human ones. They greet you without judgment, love you through your worst days, and ask for so little in return.
Introducing Campanion - the smart dog collar that reimagines caregiving — not as surveillance, but as trusted, living presence.

Deep-rooted in Shinto (the indigenous religion of Japan), animals are considered messengers of the gods. Dogs, being fiercely loyal and protective are often seen as guardians. Japanese love for dogs is basically a way of life, culture, and spiritual beliefs, it’s no wonder that, the Japanese love their dogs madly.
Male and Female dogs have some unique differences. Just like humans! Whilst there are these stereotypes (we can’t escape them), there will always be an exception to the norm. Even between dog breeds there are some individual characteristics as well. When it comes to personality, even more so as every dog is unique. Especially when it comes to the Shiba Inu where their individualistic traits really shine through depending on their unique nature versus nurture.

You love your cat/dog and give them healthy and delicious Kuro Snacks all the time. But as far as keepsakes go, nothing beats having your dog’s nose or paw printed, inked and saved forever!

Most hotels don’t provide a microwave (except serviced apartments or super duper premium rooms), likely because they want you to patronize their restaurants or room service. Which would be fine except even the pet-friendly hotels may not actually have any cooked food for your dog. Fret not, there are ways around this!
With the recent COVID-19 pandemic, it has certainly changed the way many hotels manage staycations, especially when they have to solicit business from the local community due to travel restrictions and the sheer lack of tourists. For many hotels that were already pet-friendly prior, the challenge was, very few allowed dogs above the 7kg. It is uncertain if the Amara Sanctuary Resort at Sentosa was one of those that changed that, because our beloved Kuro is 9kg! That said, whilst this was not sponsored by them, we would like to give an honest review about our experience.
So if you’ve decided to go on a Staycation with your pet at one of the pet-friendly hotels in Singapore, you have to think about what you want to prepare for your pet. Remember to keep them as comfortable as possible. Most of them prefer to have their comforts, habits and schedules. So it’s important to make them feel welcomed and at home while you’re in a different place. We signed up for it, but they didn’t!
