Dog micro-chipping events set to take place in Lichfield and Burntwood
Lichfield District Council is holding two events to help dog owners to keep track of their pets.
Everyone is invited to bring their dogs to the Beacon Park’s Swinfen Broun Pavilion on February 3, between 10am and 3pm, or to Chasewater Country Park’s Innovation Centre on February 4, between 11am and 3pm, to get their dogs micro-chipped for just £5.
Micro-chipping is a quick and simple procedure. And, it means that if the council finds a lost dog, it can be easily identified and returned to its owner, saving the dog the trauma of being sent to kennels and the owner the time and expense of having to collect it.
Councillor Ian Pritchard, Lichfield District Council’s cabinet member for housing, health and environmental protection, said: “If your dog is not micro-chipped, these events are an easy and cheap way to make sure you don’t lose your dog for long.”
Lichfield District Council has an online lost dog register at www.lichfielddc.gov.uk/lostdogs. To claim your lost dog, call the council’s Environmental Health team on 01543 308725.
