TAKE your pet pooch to a free micro-chipping event.


Halton Borough Council, Merseyside Dog Forum, RSPCA and the Dogs Trust have teamed up for the event on Thursday from 10am to 4pm at Victoria Park, on Birchfield Road, Widnes.


As well as free microchipping there will also be free health checks for dogs.
