    Where can I get my dog microchipped for free?

    Sadly we see hundreds of lost cats and dogs come through our doors every year. Many of them are not identifiable because they haven’t been microchipped.

    Since the law was passed on April 6th 2016, it is now a legal requirement for all dogs to be microchipped and their contact details kept up-to-date. Owners who do not microchip their dog could be faced with a penalty fine, so now really is the time to get your pet microchipped to make sure you and your best friend stay together.

    Our Animal Welfare Officers will be offering free microchipping at several events throughout the year. Our Officers will be on-hand to give free microchipping for dogs, give owners advice on how they can update their microchip details and give our free Bull Breed neutering vouchers. Even if you haven’t managed to get your dog microchipped since the law was passed, our Officers will do it for free, no questions asked.
