Pet owners are invited to a special open day by Gwynedd Council aimed at promoting responsible animal ownership.
The action day, to be held at the Social Centre, Blaenau Ffestiniog on Wednesday, 24 March, 11am-3pm will include:
- Free microchipping for dogs, cats and rabbits
- Free dog tags and registration
- Free advice and assistance on responsible pet ownership
Making sure that your pet is properly chipped and tagged is essential – should your dog, cat or rabbit get loose or go missing it could help in bringing them home to you.
Since April 2008, responsibility for stray dogs has been transferred from the police to local councils. The action day goes hand in hand with Gwynedd Council’s Companion Animal Welfare Enhancement Scheme, which is funded by the Welsh Assembly Government.
For further information telephone Gwynedd Council’s Environmental Health Department on (01766) 771000 or go to the website: www.gwynedd.gov.uk/DogRegistration
