Healthy Teeth, Happy Pets

Sometimes a member of the public finds a stray dog or cat and wishes to see if they have a microchip, to allow the animal to be re-united with their owner. Stray uninjured animals are often brought to the vet for this reason. Please note that the finder of an uninjured stray animal is responsible for them, and has to take the animal to an animal holding facility as soon as practicable. The animal holding facility can then scan the animal. If the owner can be contacted, they have a procedure for re-uniting the animal with their owner. If there is no microchip, or if the owner cannot be contacted, then the animal holding facility holds the animal for a specified time, to allow the owner time to find their animal. Blacktown Animal Holding Facility is at 415 Flushcombe Rd, Blacktown 2148. Phone: 98396161.
