Microchip your dog or face a £500 fine

Puppy owners are being urged to get their new pets microchipped or face a £500 fine.

Despite compulsory microchipping coming into effect on 06 April 2017, a report by The Dogs Trust (2017) says two out of three rescued stray dogs have out of date microchips, or chips that contain false information.

As a result they may never be reunited with their owners.
