End to dog licence system
Paying for an annual licence to own a dog ends today.
A change in the law in the Isle of Man is making it compulsory for owners to have their pet microchipped instead.
Each microchip carries a unique code making the animal easily identifiable to wardens, vets and the ManxSPCA.
The move will reduce costs for dog owners on the Island, who will no longer need to pay up to £20 per dog, per year, for a licence.
If your dog is not yet microchipped, you have until October to do so.
Kerry Gascoyne from the ManxSPCA says it should make tracking down lost pets easier.
