Die Marke gibt die Bezugsstelle deiner Gemeinde ab, sobald die Hundesteuer bezahlt und der Versicherungsnachweis vorgelegt ist. Jagdhunden darf die Marke für die Jagd und die Anlernzeit abgenommen werden. Hunde ohne Marke fängt die Polizei ein und verwahrt sie auf Kosten der Halterin oder des Halters. Dazu kommt die schweizweit geltende Pflicht, den Hund von einer Tierärztin oder einem Tierarzt chippen und in der nationalen Hundedatenbank AMICUS registrieren zu lassen.» (source: https://www.sz.ch/public/upload/assets/3802/546_100.pdf, as of July 2026).
