COMMUNITY members can check their pet’s microchip details are up-to-date or get them chipped and registered at Wangaratta Kennel & Obedience Dog Club this Sunday, from 10am to 2pm.
Council officers will be on hand to check and update your pet's microchip information for free.
Registration and microchipping bundles will be available for cats and dogs at the heavily discounted rate of $20 courtesy of the Rural City of Wangaratta, while implants will be done by local vets - but registrations are only applicable to Wangaratta residents.
Wangaratta Kennel & Obedience Dog Club is hosting a sausage sizzle, scones with jam and cream, as well as a display of agility by some talented dogs.
“The event is shaping up to be a fun day while we also get down to some serious business,” said club vice president Marion Gray.
