The law is changing and from 6th April 2016 micro chipping will be compulsory for all dog owners in England.
The Council’s Dog Warden service are again joining forces with the Dog’s Trust to offer a free micro chipping session in Accrington on Wednesday 30th September.
The sessions will be outside Tesco on Eagle St from 11am till 3pm and there is no need to book, just turn up and join the queue.
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.
Cllr Paul Cox Cabinet Member for Environmental Services and Deputy Leader of the Council said; “The law is changing soon, micro chipping will be compulsory for all dog owners in England from 6th April 2016, so why not get ahead of the game and bring your dog along to the micro chipping session.”
