HBC free dog chipping sessions

The Council’s Dog Warden service has joined forces with the Dog’s Trust to offer free micro chipping sessions for dogs.

The sessions will take place on 12th and 26th September, from 11am to 3pm in the Tesco Extra car park on Eagle St Accrington.

Micro chipping your pet gives them the best chance of being identified and returned to you if they become lost or stolen. A tiny microchip is inserted under the animal’s skin, which gives the pet their own unique code. The microchip can be scanned and matched to the owner’s contact details, which are kept on a database.

The law is changing and from 6th April 2016 micro chipping will be compulsory for all dog owners in England, so why not get ahead of the game and bring your dog along to one of the sessions.  There’s no need to book just turn up and join the queue.
