New dog microchipping laws
It's been announced it'll be compulsory for owners to get their dogs microchipped. People will be given three years to comply.
Measures to stop dangerous dogs
The Government has announced plans to extend legal protection over dog attacks to cover incidents on private property. The move will be a boost for postmen and women, health visitors and others who call at private addresses but have not been covered by the law if they are bitten by a dog.
Ministers have also announced compulsory microchipping of dogs, with owners being given three years to comply. It follows a consultation last year on issues surrounding dangerous dogs.
