Microchipping your dog
Dog owners in Redbridge are now legally required to ensure that their dog is:
- microchipped
- registered to an approved database by the time it is 8 weeks old
If you don't you could be fined up to £500.
Microchipping is a simple and painless procedure that involves putting a special chip the size of a grain of rice into your dog's neck, so it can be identified if it strays or is stolen.
We do not provide a microchipping service for dogs or any other animal including cats, reptiles, rodents and birds. If you want those microchipped you will need to contact a vet.
