A free microchipping initiative to give pet owners the edge on being more responsible for their dogs will be unleashed in March.
The Chip N Check program, a partnership between Isaac Regional Council and seven veterinary clinics, is open to all dogs from 12 weeks of age.
The microchipping incentive helps pet owners save money on something that is compulsory by law.
Cr Simon West, who chairs the Domestic Dog Advisory Committee, said microchipping is one of many ways people can fulfill their legal requirements and become a responsible dog owner.
“How many times do we see lost and wandering dogs? It’s too many. It’s our job as a community to encourage responsible dog ownership and microchipping is amongst it,” Cr West said.
