Have your pet microchipped for free at the Erina and Charmhaven Socares Animal Care Facilities on Saturday, November 12.
The free microchip day is being provided by Central Coast Council in partnership with its contractor Socares Central Coast.
You can also have your pet registered and relevant registration details updated on the day free of charge, as well as accessing pet ownership advice, educational material and pet care products.
Microchipping and registrations are an important legal requirement when owning a pet and help to ensure companion animals can be reunited with their owners, should they become lost.
They also help animal care facilities to locate owners of animals and rehome lost pets.
The move is part of Council’s aim to increase the number of microchipped, registered and desexed dogs and cats across the region.
The free microchip day will be at Socares facilities in Pateman Rd, Erina, and Depot Rd, Charmhaven, from 9am-3pm on Saturday, November 12.
No registrations are required – walk-ins will be accepted on the day.
