Microchipping & Neutering

• Collar Chip Change

  In 1992, it became a legal requirement that any dog in a public place must wear a collar with it's name and address. In April 2016, it became compulsory for every dog to have an up-to-date microchip. It is also a legal requirement to keep these details up to date.

• Subsidised neutering

  Dogs Trust has been working with vets to provide subsidised neutering for dog owners living on means-tested benefits, with a specified breed of dog. We work with over 1,200 practices across North of England, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and London.
