The DSPCA has urged pet owners to ensure their dogs are microchipped after dealing with a number of unregistered animals.
The animal welfare group posted a statement on Instagram appealing for owners to book an appointment for microchipping. They explained that the simple procedure would allow owners to reunite with lost pets more readily.
Animals who end up at the charity without a microchip often belong to loving homes, charity workers believe, but the possibility of a reunion lessens if a pet cannot be identified. The charity asked people to get in touch with their local vet to invest in their pet's safety.
