LOST pets could soon be a thing of the past thanks to the launch of a microchipping roadshow.
The National Canine Defence League (NCDL) has teamed up with Scarborough Borough Council to allow more dog owners to have their pets microchipped, and to give advice on responsible dog ownership.
The council's animal care and dog control team joined forces with the NCDL two years ago and during the course of two roadshows more than 400 dogs were microchipped.
The chip, which contains a unique ID number, is inserted under the dog's skin in a quick and painless procedure. It will be free to all dog owners on means-tested benefit or pension with proof of benefit, or at a discounted rate of £9.50 for anyone else.
The roadshow caravan will be visiting the following locations next week between 10am and 3.00pm:
* Monday: Station Avenue car park, Filey.
*Tuesday and Wednesday: Safeway car park, Falsgrave Road, Scarborough.
*Thursday: West Cliff car park, Whitby.
