Microchipping and dog tags
- July 26, 2014
Microchipping
Did you know that from April 2016 in England (& March 2015 in Wales) it will be a legal obligation for your dog to be microchipped. Dogs Trust are doing FREE chipping events and are offering FREE chipping at participating vets all over the country. You will also be required legally to keep the chip details up to date. For 
more details, visit www.chipmydog.org.uk
Pet tags
Did you also know that legally, you are required to have a tag on your dog in a public place with your name and address on? There are certain working dog exceptions but it applies to pet owners. Most dogs that end up in a council pound, requiring a fee to release it, have been picked up by a member of the public who rings the dog warden because they don’t know who else to return the dog to because it is not wearing a tag. An ID tag on your dog will probably ensure that it is returned to you without it going to council kennels. Click picture to enlarge.
Pandy & Zach do the South Downs
- June 8, 2014
Hi Folks. Pandy, and her partner in crime, Zach here. With our begging bowl. Trying to raise some cash for Trailhound Welfare. Thanks to all you lovely humans and hounds who have already donated. In June we are running and jogging South Downs Way. Seven days of romping over the hills – it’s a hard life! 100 miles in total! We have sincerely promised our humans to be well behaved. All our walks are scored on a Pandymonium scale, 0 being angelic and 10 being the opposite. Never had a 10, but I’ve had a few eights! We’re aiming for a PandyMonium score no more than 3 per day. And that’s the real challenge! Heh heh. If you would like to donate to our cause, please visit You Caring.
Pandy and Zach raised an amazing £250 for Trailhound Welfare. Thanks guys, go and put your paws up before starting your next adventure!
