FREE microchipping will be offered to dogs on Wednesday February 11 from 10am to noon in Northleach.

Cotswold District Council has received funding from the Dog's Trust to offer free microchipping in the area.

Northleach residents will be able to take their dogs to the Pavilion Tea Room on the playing field.

Advice will also be given on the day.

All dogs must be microchipped by next year under new government rules.

It normally costs £30 to microchip a dog.
