A SERIES of free dog microchipping events are being held across Worcestershire by the county’s regulatory service.
It is a legal requirement to have your dog microchipped, but many don’t for a variety of reasons.
Worcestershire Regulatory Services’ senior dog warden, Pip Singleton, said: “Reuniting lost dogs with their owners is always a joy, and having up to date microchips makes it so much easier to do.
“An opportunity to have your dog microchipped for free is certainly something to make use of.”
Over the summer months a number of free microchipping sessions are scheduled to take place across the county from 11.30am to 1.30pm in Pershore, Droitwich, Evesham and Malvern.
On Wednesday, July 9 a session will be held at Abbey Park in Pershore. On Thursday, July 17 a session will be held at Lido Park, Droitwich. On Wednesday, September 10 a session will be held at Crown Meadow, Evesham. And lastly, on Thursday, September 18 a session will be held at Victoria Park, Malvern.
Pip added: “It’s also a good reminder to residents to make sure that any existing microchips their pets have are accurate and up to date.”
Microchips are being offered for free, in a no judgement no questions asked environment. It represents a great opportunity for residents to get this done to help reduce the risk of lost dogs not being reunited with owners.
Booking is not required at the sessions.
