Cheap as Chips!
Losing your pet can be a devastating experience, which is why Osterley and Spring Grove Safer Neighbourhood Team is pleased to be supporting the 5th annual National Microchipping Month in June 2007. Following the huge success of the 2006 event, The Metropolitan Police, the Kennel Club and the National Trust will be holding “Cheap as Chips!” on Sunday 24th June 2007 at Osterley Park (in front of Osterley House) to encourage owners to get their dogs microchipped as the preferred method of permanent identification. “Cheap as Chips!” will be held from 10am to 2pm, in front of Osterley House and this is a great opportunity for local dog owners to discover more about the importance of microchipping. With thousands of dogs going missing every year, implanting a microchip vastly increases a dog’s chances of getting home safely. It is an inexpensive form of identification that cannot be lost, altered or intentionally removed once implanted. The process is quick and painless and will give peace of mind to the owner as they can ensure they are reunited with their pets sooner rather than later. For vets, dog wardens, rescue centres, dog wardens, police and local councils it is a simple, practical and quick procedure that can help an individual owner and their pet. There will be a small (£10) fee for the service, so it really is as Cheap as Chips!For further information about “Cheap as Chips!”, please contact PC Chris Lavender from the Osterley and Spring Grove Safer Neighbourhood Team on 020 8721 2809.
