IF your pet hasn’t been microchipped, a local organisation is encouraging pet owners to take the drive to attend a microchipping day on Sunday, 29 January at the Padfield Park municipal park. Harry’s Pet Rescue will be microchipping animals from 11am at a cost of R150.
According to Jill Murraybrown from the organisation, it has become important to microchip your pet.
“A microchipped animal can be reunited with its family immediately. However safe one might feel about their enclosed property, there are many ingenious ways dogs are lured,” she said.
A fundraising mini-market is being held on the day, and there will be stalls selling various items. Take a tinned pet food or packets of pet biscuits which will be donated towards Harry’s Pet Rescue and other organisations depending on the amount donated.
Make this a family outing with your furballs. Remember to have your dogs on a leash and cats in baskets. Contact Robert on 082 890 0975, Tracey on 082 709 5718 or Jill on 082 412 8069.
