Cats must be in carriers, and dogs must be muzzled and on leashes

The Gostomel shelter in the Kyiv region provides free chipping and vaccination services for animals of the local community.

This was reported by the press service of the Gostomel settlement military administration in Telegram.

It is noted that chipping is necessary for quick detection and identification of the animal. The chip can contain complete information about the state of health and characteristics of the pet.

"From the age of 6 weeks, a microchip the size of a grain is painlessly implanted under the skin in the area of ​​the withers. It is completely painless," the press service notes.

The administration informs that chipping and vaccination of animals will take place from April 15 to 30 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the address: st. 213 Sviato-Pokrovska St., Gostomel city.

Also, on April 27, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., chipping of animals will be organized near the Gostomelsky Cultural and Health Complex.

"Cats must be in carriers, and dogs must be muzzled and on leashes," the veterinarians emphasize.

As EcoPolitic previously reported, animal rights activists launched a program to sterilize homeless animals and pets of owners who cannot pay for this procedure on their own in 22 cities of Ukraine.
