Get your pet microchipped for free at the Metro Bank in Chiswick this weekend.

Doting animals lovers can head down to the bank on Chiswick High Road and get their cat or dog implanted with the chip and be sure to never lose their furry friend again.

Battersea Dogs and Cats Home have been in partnership with the bank for the last three years which has allowed them to take events such as dog adopt-a-thons and microchipping into communities across London and the south east.

James Baughan, regional director at Metro Bank said: “Dogs rule at Metro Bank!

"We understand how important man’s best friend is to our customers, so not only do we ensure that dogs are looked after in our stores with water, goodies and treats, but we also care about the welfare of our four legged friends.

"We’re very proud to therefore be hosting a microchipping event for our customers at Metro Bank Chiswick and look forward to even more dogs being microchipped and staying safe.”

The service is being offered in a bid to support the government's move for all dogs in England to be microchipped by April 2016.

Currently, more than 65 per cent of dogs arriving at Battersea are not microchipped making it difficult to reunite lost dogs with their owners.

Dee McIntosh, director of communications at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home said: “Many dog owners don’t realise how helpful a chip, the size of a grain of rice, can be.

"Having an owners contact details at hand removes the chance that they may lose their dog.

"We know that Dogs Rule at Metro Bank and we’re thrilled to have them involved.”

The event will take place at Metro Bank Chiswick, 137 Chiswick High Road, London, W4 2ED from 11am to 3.30pm on Saturday September 13 and Sunday September 14.
