TJMP Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 The local RSPCA will be having a micro-chipping day for dogs on Sunday 9th August from 12 noon to 4pm.The session will take place at the RSPCA London South East Branch shop at 380 Norwood Road, West Norwood, SE27 9AA (opposite the end of Robson Road).Whilst this is not an East Dulwich event, the RSPCA has assured me that Dulwich and East Dulwich residents would be more than welcome.More information on these sessions can be found on my website here: RSPCA dog chipping successTessa Jowell MP Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7241-rspca-pet-chipping-session-new-date/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

minder Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Yep - I've seen it in the South London Press - it's for dogs and cats - will be taking one of my cats along. I've already had one chipped by the RSPCA in a Bermondsey free event a couple of years ago and they were really friendly and helpful. Don't know if it makes any difference if they are chipped as she went missing a year ago and noboby would have know she was chipped. (Somebody took her in because of poster I had posted). I now put collars on mine for most of the time but don't really like doing this as one of my neighbours recently found Trixie's collar in her garden - so somehow she has been caught up in something and collar has come free (which it's supposed to do).Will still have Honey chipped on Sunday though!

TJMP Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 There will be another micro-chipping session for local pet owners this Sunday 11 October from 12 noon to 4pm.At the last session, on 9th August, 96 animals were microchipped and the RSPCA received almost ?200 in donations - thank you to everyone who made a contribution. So far this year the local RSPCA has chipped over 1200 animals - a fantastic achievement.The session will, once again, take place at the RSPCA London South East Branch shop at 380 Norwood Road, West Norwood, SE27 9AA (opposite the end of Robson Road). Pet owners from East Dulwich and the surrounding area will be very welcome.More information on this and previous sessions can be found on my website here: New chipping sessionTessa Jowell MP Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7241-rspca-pet-chipping-session-new-date/#findComment-256004 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJMP Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 After a fantastically successful pet chipping day in October (see above) when 124 animals were chipped and donations of ?270 were made, a new chipping session will take place this weekend.The RSPCA shop in West Norwood will have a free microchipping day on Sunday 6th December from 12 noon until 4pm. The shop is located at 380 Norwood Road, London SE27 9AA (opposite the end of Robson Road).The RSPCA (as at 12 October) had chipped 1781 animals this year and is hoping that over 2000 will be chipped by the end of the year.The branch covers the whole of south-east London so users of the East Dulwich Forum are welcome to take advantage of this session. And do please consider making a donation to support this and the other excellent work carried out by the RSPCA locally.More information here: New December chipping sessionTessa Jowell MP Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7241-rspca-pet-chipping-session-new-date/#findComment-271145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
minder Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The only downside to these events is the long queues. The last one I took my cat to at the West Norwood shop I had to come away after 10 minutes because there were so many dogs barking madly at all the cats that my cat was too traumatised. I know people will be thinking oh so what but here's a thought - why not have a separate cat chipping session and a dog one? Just a thought?

Mamma Mia Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 That's a good point, Minder. I was planning to take my two little kittens and did wonder how it would work out.

cate Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 If you put your cat in a basket/carrier and cover the front with gauze/fabric so dogs can't see in then the cat should feel more comfortable. Don't put them in one of those cage type see through carriers.

TJMP Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Last year the London South East RSPCA Branch chipped over 2300 animals including 107 at their last microchipping day in December. The next free microchipping day at the RSPCA shop in West Norwood will be this Sunday 7th February from 12 noon until 4pm. The shop is located at 380 Norwood Road, London SE27 9AA (opposite the end of Robson Road). The branch covers the whole of south-east London so I would reiterate my earlier advice that users of the East Dulwich Forum are welcome to take advantage of this session. And please do consider making a donation to support this and the other excellent work carried out by the RSPCA locally. More information here: New February chipping session Tessa Jowell MPEdited to add: Sorry - I had meant to include the following information from the RSPCA which will be helpful if you intend to take advantage of their chipping session this weekend:Free Microchipping Day - 7th February 2010 [Dogs on leads and Cats in baskets please]Sunday 7th February 2010 ?

DJKillaQueen Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I took my cats to the last one and yes I had to wait, but for no more than an hour and considering it is a FREE (donation only) service - I am extremely grateful that other people donate enough to the RSPCA for them to be able to do this. Most of the dogs that turn up are very well behaved I found and it was little trouble to keep my cats away from any curious ones.

rspcalondonsoutheast Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hi Yes there can be a bit of a wait but we do get through the Q as quickly as possible. We usually chip over 100 animals in four hours.Vets currently charge up to ?40.00 for one chip so this service is a bargain for pet owners.
