How
often do we hear of loved pets roaming and becoming lost or stolen and
not being able to be relocated to their owners? This causes grief for
both the owner and the pet.
Well now that can be a thing of the past. Microchipping is the most effective way to permanently identify a cat or dog.
Sunshine Coast Council is launching a microchipping bonanza for pets, offering to microchip dogs and cats at a heavily discounted price of $25.00 across Sunshine Coast parks from now until May. Records will be kept on a national database so pets can be identified from anywhere in Australia
Microchipping days run from Monday 22 February at La Balsa off leash dog park and then continue in February, April and May at various locations throughout the Sunshine Coast Council area. Maleny’s turn will be on Thursday 29th April between the hours of 10am till 2pm at the Maleny Show-grounds.
Registration fees will be reduced for de-sexed and microchipped dogs.
All owners must register their cats and dogs with council every year.
So do your bit for your pet and give it an identity.
