Free microchipping for dogsBook an appointment at a Dogs Trust Centre or event

The law’s changing this week – from Wednesday (6 Apr), all dogs in England, Wales and Scotland must be microchipped. And it’s already compulsory in Northern Ireland.
While microchipping usually costs £15-£20 at a local vet’s practice, you can get it done for free (but please donate if you can) when you book an appointment with the charity Dogs Trust.
A microchip (an implant about the size of a grain of rice) stores a dog owner’s details on an electronic database, which makes it easier to reunite them with their pooch if it gets lost. You can have dogs of any breed or size microchipped.

Owners who fail to comply with the new law risk a fine of up to £500, though they’ll first be given 21 days to get their dog microchipped and avoid having to pay it.
If you’ve no Dogs Trust Centre nearby, or you can’t get an appointment, see ChipMyDog.org for free microchipping events happening all over the UK.

Geoff Says;
It will apparently cost up to £20.00 locally to have your dog chipped and should your dog be aggressive then I seriously think it is a wise idea to get it chipped cos if your dog causes any problems or it is involved in dog fights the least you will get fined up to £500.00 quid’s or worse in extreme cases you could go to prison.

Been there done that with Nana Moon who hates the vets so it is necessary for her to be wearing a muzzle before she goes into their surgery. She has been trained to be defensive and she enjoys her role around the Car Boots as security dawg! Lou watched as a postman a giant of a bloke came into the gates a few weeks ago and Nana Moon started barking at him so he started hitting her with the parcel he was delivering.
He reported the incident to his manager who refused deliveries anyway Lou went to the Manager’s office to hand in half a dozen letters for other addresses wrongly delivered by fat bloke to our house, she told her side of the story and the order was reversed see!

Get they there dogs chipped my lovely, you can even do it for free but will be expected to make a donation and I hope the injection hurts, see! I told Lou’s mother all about making a donation so she took in a tin of beans FFS! Generous to a fault, it runs in the family me ansum.
