FREE DOG MICROCHIPPING IN BRIGG

The next free dog micro-chipping session is taking place tomorrow (Thursday 25 September) at the car park on Old Courts Road, Brigg, between 11am and 3pm. 

Make sure you take advantage of this great offer before it becomes compulsory for all dogs to be micro-chopped from April 2016.
You could save around £20 to £30 by taking your dog to the micro-chipping session. 
Dogs Trust has donated the micro-chips and aim to micro-chip all dogs at the session. 
Getting your dog micro-chipped gives you the assurance that should your pet be stolen they are more likely to be returned to you safe and sound. The best way to ensure your dog is returned to you should it stray is by collar and ID tag inscribed with your name and number. 
All you need to do is turn up to the session; there is no need to book. A ticket system will be in place, so that everyone who has a ticket will get their dog micro-chipped. 
Dogs should be at least 12 weeks old and have had all of their vaccinations. 
Coun Nigel Sherwood (Brigg & Wolds), Cabinet Member for Highways and Neighbourhood, said: “If you haven’t already had your dog micro-chipped then make sure you take them along to the session. It will save you money and ensure that your dog is chipped before it becomes compulsory. 
“The previous micro-chipping sessions have been extremely popular. Therefore we wanted to provide people with more opportunities to get their dog chipped by working with Dogs Trust again. 
“It is important that you get your dog chipped – it can save a lot of heartache and enables your pet to be traced back to you should it be stolen. A collar and tag is still law and you must have an up-to-date ID tag with the dog owners contact details. This allows anyone finding a stray dog to contact the owner and reunite them.”
