Dogs Breakfast & Microchipping Day - Jan 14


Hobsons Bay’s annual dogs breakfast and microchipping day will be held at Altona’s Apex Park on Saturday 14th January.

Registration is normally $46 - for a dog that is microchipped and desexed - but the council is offering $25 microchipping and free first-time dog registrations with proof that animals are microchipped and desexed.

Victorian law requires cats and dogs to be microchipped as a condition of registration. All dogs more than three months old must be registered, with registrations due each April. The fine for keeping an unregistered dog is $311. Lost dogs that are registered and microchipped can be reunited directly with their owners from Hobsons Bay instead of being impounded at the Lost Dogs Home.

This free fun-filled morning is all about learning about how you and your dog can enjoy our wonderful coast while protecting precious local wildlife. Pet owners can enjoy a dog-friendly bird walk, flyball demonstration, roving entertainment from The Connies and more. Local vets and dog trainers will be on hand to offer advice and teach your old (or young) dog some new tricks.

  • Discounted microchipping
Bookings are essential for microchipping. Please visit www.petregister.com.au/events
  • Free dog registration
Bring along your proof of microchipping and desexing (if applicable) for free registration (valid till 10 April 2017).


When: Saturday 14th January 2017, from 8:30am to 11:30am

Where: Apex Park (opposite Kooringal Golf Course), 270 Queen St, Altona, VIC

Who should attend: this event is open to everyone.

Sporn Marrow Chew Bone

The Sporn Marrow Chew Bone (originally called the Yuppie Puppy ) is a jerky-flavour filled chewable nylon bone, which promises to control tartar and plaque, assisting with your dog's dental health. After putting it to the test for a number of years with our three Belgian Shepherds, we can attest that it is great for the toughest of chewers and may even save some of your furniture or shoes. Especially recommended during the puppy phase, when your dog is constantly teething and needs something to chew. Chewing this bone is similar to brushing their teeth. As the nylon shreds, it becomes like bristles, removing tartar and plaque build-up from the teeth. These interactive dental chew toys are unique to most other flavoured nylon bones as the marrow is added after the bone has been moulded and cooled. After trialling other brands on the market, we found that the marrow makes the difference and keeps our dogs coming back for more. Our dogs can surely smell it long before they can t...
