Dog owners invited to free PetChecks across Medway

Dog owners and their pets are invited to attend free PetChecks across Medway this week.

The PDSA  free PetChecks events also offer a free wellbeing check, nail clipping and ear cleaning.

Medway Council’s community wardens will be on hand to microchip dogs for free, and to give advice about free dog ownership.

The PetCheck team will be at Jacksons Recreational Ground, Wednesday, 21 March, Luton Recreational Ground on Thursday, 22 March and at Maidstone Sports Ground on Friday, 23 March. All the events take place from 10am until 5pm.

The council is also encouraging dog owners to follow the Medway Dog Code which includes: ensuring your dog is chipped and has a collar and name tag when outside, clearing up after your dog and putting the bag in a dog bin or rubbish bin and ensuring the dog’s vaccinations are up to date.
