IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- For the safety of people and other pets, animals must be restrained on a leash or in a cage

Gladstone Region Councillor Mellissa Holzheimer said microchipping is an essential part of responsible animal ownership.
“A microchip provides a simple solution to return your pet to you if your pet goes missing,” Councillor Holzheimer said.
“Getting your animal microchipped can reduce your animal’s annual registration fees by up to $20 per year.
“You can save up to $80 on your annual registration fees if you get your pet desexed as well.”
