Dogs Trust, in partnership with Ballymoney Borough Council, is hosting a Microchipping Roadshow in September.

This follows the success of previous roadshows. To date over 1,300 dogs have been microchipped at these events since the first one was organised in January 2012.

The roadshow, alongside the valuable microchipping work undertaken by local veterinary practices, allows owners to licence their dog in accordance with the amended dog licensing requirements introduced in April 2012.

Microchipping has a number of benefits.

These include the return of stray pets directly to their owner, a deterrent to dog theft and the identification of dogs in emergency situations.

The roadshow will be visiting the Borough from Monday 15th to Friday 19th September.

Owners will be able to get their dog microchipped and registered free of charge thus potentially saving up to £30.

The whole process takes less than five minutes and a member of Dogs Trust staff is on hand to give advice.
