It is a legal requirement in Northern Ireland to microchip your dog. You must keep your microchip details up to date and record any changes i.e address. This will ensure you can be easily reunited with your dog should they be straying, lost, or stolen. https://t.co/tYBuVYR8EQ

Find out where to get a dog licence, how much dog licences cost and how long they are valid for. You can also find details on 'block licences', microchipping and what could happen if you do not have...

Today at committee I raised the discontinuation of the supply of veterinary medicines to pet owners from GB to NI after 31st of Dec. This is an important issue & one that DAERA, DoH & the EU must start to work together on in order to find a solution. @DogsTrust

The Northern Ireland Assembly passed a Legislative Consent Motion (LCM) in July, which allows for and will enable the making of similar legislation in Northern Ireland. We look forward to working with DAERA to ensure this is delivered. Note - not all clauses will apply in NI.

It's your Friday good news! The Animal Welfare (Import) Bill has passed through the House of Lords. The Bill: - Raises the minimum import age of puppies to 6 months - Bans the import and sale of dogs with mutilations - Bans the import of heavily pregnant dogs Well done all!
We did it! 🙌 With your help, our decade long campaign to end puppy smuggling has resulted in a new law to protect dogs. Thank you to all our supporters who help us to make the world a safer place for dogs 💛 But we still need your help ➡️ https://t.co/b4JWP1pUQM

Thinking of rehoming a dog? Consider if they are the right fit for you, your lifestyle and your family. - Think about the time, space and training you can dedicate. - Speak to Rehoming Centre staff about what support is available. - Research the breed and their needs. @daera_ni

Winter warning: Please check your dog’s paws after every walk and wipe them to remove any salt or grit, including between the toes. Salt and grit, which are likely to be used on roads and pavements this time of year, could cause soreness, cracking and burns on paw pads 😔
