Finding Your Dream Puppy in Hong Kong
If you want to buy a puppy in Hong Kong, it can sometimes be difficult to find the right puppy locally, whether because of limited availability or a lack of trust. In such situations, looking for your dream puppy abroad might be the best option.
NewDoggy.com provides a solution for families who want to buy a puppy in Hong Kong with more confidence. We assist you in finding your ideal dog breed and the right puppy, while also arranging the necessary documentation and procedures to bring your NewDoggy puppy safely to you.
Hong Kong Dog Breed Regulations
Before you buy a puppy in Hong Kong or arrange international puppy import, it is important to check whether the breed is allowed under Hong Kong’s pet import regulations. Certain fighting dogs and breeds classified as dangerous are prohibited from entering Hong Kong.
According to Hong Kong’s pet import rules, the following breeds are prohibited:
Prohibited dog breeds in Hong Kong include:
- Pit Bull Terrier
- Japanese Tosa
- Dogo Argentino
- Fila Brasileiro
- Crossbreeds of the breeds listed above
Staffordshire Bull Terriers are treated separately. English Staffordshire Bull Terriers may only be allowed to enter Hong Kong if they are accompanied by a statutory declaration confirming the dog’s breed.
These restrictions may also apply to emotional support animals and service animals if they belong to one of the prohibited breeds. Importing, keeping, or breeding restricted dog breeds can lead to serious legal consequences, including fines or imprisonment.
Important note: Dog breed regulations can change, so we always recommend checking the latest official Hong Kong import rules before making a decision. You can also contact the NewDoggy team for guidance if you would like help choosing the right breed and want to buy a puppy in Hong Kong safely and responsibly.
Hong Kong Pet Import Requirements
Importing a puppy to Hong Kong involves several official steps, documents, and veterinary requirements. The process can feel complicated, especially when families are dealing with international breeders, airline rules, health certificates, vaccination records, and import permits at the same time.
NewDoggy helps make this journey easier by preparing the necessary paperwork, coordinating the required steps, and keeping you informed from the moment you reserve your puppy until your puppy arrives safely in Hong Kong.
The following is usually needed to bring a puppy into Hong Kong:
- Minimum age: Dogs entering Hong Kong must usually be at least 5 months old.
- Microchip: Dogs entering and residing in Hong Kong must be equipped with a microchip, either 9-digit or 15-digit, depending on the accepted requirements.
- Import permit: Dogs entering Hong Kong need a Special Permit issued by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. The permit is generally valid for up to 6 months.
- Vaccinations: Required vaccinations may depend on the country of origin. Hong Kong-specific vaccinations can include canine distemper, infectious canine hepatitis, canine parvovirus, and rabies where required.
- Veterinary health check: A veterinary health check is required before travel to confirm that the puppy is fit to enter Hong Kong.
- Pet passport or health documents: These documents confirm that the puppy is healthy and up to date with the required vaccinations and treatments.
- Captain’s affidavit: The airline may need to provide confirmation that the dog did not leave its crate or interact with other animals during the journey.
Rabies Requirements and Country Groups
Hong Kong classifies countries into different groups for pet import purposes. Rabies vaccination requirements may depend on which group the puppy’s country of origin belongs to.
Group 1: Rabies-free countries or places. Dogs from these countries may have different rabies requirements, usually depending on residency and documentation rules.
Group 2: Countries or places with lower rabies risk. Rabies vaccination may be required depending on the puppy’s origin and travel history.
Group 3: All other countries. Additional rabies-related requirements may apply.
Important note: Hong Kong pet import rules can change, and the exact requirements may depend on the puppy’s country of origin, age, vaccination status, and travel route. Always check the latest official regulations before travel. You can also contact the NewDoggy team if you would like help arranging the correct documents and procedures for importing a puppy to Hong Kong.

What Our Customers Say
Real experiences from happy families in Hong Kong.
"I cannot recommend Geza and the team at NewDoggy enough. If you are looking to get a dog without any doubt I would recommend NewDoggy. Living in Hong Kong, I thought it would be difficult. I chose a female chocolate Labrador. (Stormie). Geza helped guide me through the process. Stormie attended the puppy academy with New Doggy for the month. During this time I received pictures and videos of Stormie’s training. Which was fantastic. Stormie arrived in Hong Kong last week and is settling in well. She is just the best and I have a great companion and my heart is full. Thank you so much Geza and the team at NewDoggy for giving me such a great dog."
"Best Decision Ever. You have been instrumental in connecting us with Kissa - she is the perfect pup! The whole experience was painless, smooth and positive. The constant follow up was invaluable support that helped us through the whole process. Kissa's journey all the way to our home in Hong Kong couldn't have gone any better. We would totally recommend you to anybody who is looking to complete their family with a wonderful dog!"
"Wonderful experienced team. Thank you Geza, Tran and the team for bringing up our little Cavapoo. You were fantastic right from the start with advice about the type of dog that would fit into our family with children in an apartment in Hong Kong, breeders, personalities of the puppies to advice after we received our puppy, how to settle her and training tips. Lola is a gorgeous little girl. The training offered prior to arrival was also super useful. Lola is easy going, socialized and well adapted."
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to guide your choice.
How much does it cost to buy a puppy in Hong Kong from NewDoggy?
Pricing varies by breed, age, bloodline, training level, and travel requirements. For exact details, please check the prices listed on our website or contact us directly. Each puppy’s total price includes the important preparation steps such as vaccinations, health checks, travel crate, health documents, and travel-related arrangements.
How long does puppy delivery to Hong Kong take?
If your puppy is old enough, fully vaccinated, and has the necessary travel documents prepared, the journey to Portugal can usually be arranged within a short time after reservation. The flight is typically around 12 hours, and your puppy can be received on arrival without quarantine, as long as all current EU pet travel requirements are met.
