PET owners in Burnley are invited to a microchipping event next weekend.

To help owners meet Government deadlines of compulsory microchipping by 2016, owners can bring their cat or dog to Pets at Home in Burnley on Saturday or Sunday and get their pet microchipped for just £10.

Adam Wolstenholme, store manager at Pets at Home Burnley, said: “As the Government deadlines approach, we want to highlight the benefits of microchipping to help owners avoid the heartache of losing a pet.”
