I wrote few days ago an article about the compulsory microchipping in Ireland.September is the Ireland's National chipping month
That means that there will be initiatives all around the country and there will be more opportunities to have your dog microchipped at reduced price or free of charge!
There are many sponsors and associations involved and you can find updated information here:
http://www.ncm.ie/ and here on the facebook page
There is also a competition promoted by National Microchipping Month campaign to raise awareness about the benefits of microchipping pets and animals.
The overall winner will receive FREE pet insurance for their pet for one year and FREE pet food for the same animal for a year courtesy of our partners, Royal Canin and Allianz Pet Insurance.
You will find details about the competition here:

It looks like a good opportunity!

Awesome post. A great way to promote the microchipping of dogs by having a contest. It is so important to have some sort of identification on your dog and chipping is easy to do. Good Luck..
ReplyDeletethanks I think it's very important and I hope they will do a lot of these initiatives around the world!
