Free microchipping, registration helps owners and pets reunite
PET owners can take advantage of a free microchipping and registration day being offered by Tablelands Regional Council this Thursday.
“Registering and microchipping is the best way to ensure animals are reunited with their owners so we’re offering free microchipping for dogs and cats, and free registration for dogs who haven’t been previously registered with us,” Mayor Rod Marti said.
The law requires all dogs and cats over 12-weeks-old to be microchipped.
The cost for registration is $27 for desexed dogs (documents required), $109 for entire dogs, and $53 for entire dogs with a level 3 obedience training (documents required) and $55 for entire dogs who are kennel club members.
TRC uses lifetime registration tags and registrations which are due on 30 June each year.
The free microchipping day is on Thursday at TRC’s animal management facility, 30 Albrecht Street, Tolga. From 9am to 12 noon and from 1pm to 4pm.
