Central Coast Council will once again offer free micro-chipping for pets at its Socares-run Animal Care Facilities at Erina and Charmhaven on Saturday, April 1.
As well as having their pets microchipped, owners can also register their pets or have their pets’ registrations details checked and updated on the day.
Those in attendance can also gain access to pet ownership advice, educational material and products.
The move is part of Council’s continued aim to increase the number of microchipped, registered and desexed dogs and cats across the region.
It also helps Council and Socares to reunite pets with their owners should they become lost or have them rehomed.
The microchipping events will be held at Socares Charmhaven, 2 Depot Rd, and Socares Erina in Pateman Rd from 9am to 3pm on Saturday, April 1.
Bookings are not required, with walk-ins accepted on the day.
It’s important to note that this is a free microchipping day only and doesn’t include free pet registration.
