Dog
chipping sessions announced for Burnham and Highbridge
 Sedgemoor's
Dog Wardens are offering dog owners in Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge
a chance to have their pets micro chipped.
Micro
chipping is now recognised as the most effective and secure way
of permanently identifying a pet.
Usual
fees are between £15 and £30, but Sedgemoor District
Council is offering the service at a cost of £12 per dog
at two special sessions over the next few days. It follows the
success of a similar session held in June 2006.
Many dogs and cats are lost or stolen and this can be distressing
for pet owners. Of the many thousands of dogs that go missing
each year, it is estimated that less than half are reunited with
their owners.
If Sedgemoor's Dog Wardens find a lost dog and it is found with
a micro chip, they can contact the national database to find the
owner's details. The owner is then contacted and reunited with
their pet.
