⚖️ Dog bites
Common law (knowledge or negligence)Nunavut has no general strict-liability statute for dog bites, so the common law applies: the injured person usually has to show the owner knew the dog was dangerous (the “scienter” rule) or was negligent. Municipal bylaws may add fines.
💉 Rabies vaccine
Set by municipalitiesNo province-wide requirement was found for Nunavut; rabies vaccination is set by municipal bylaws, and many municipalities require it for a dog licence. Vets recommend it — rabies is present in Canadian wildlife.
🏪 Pet store sales
