The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it has given any consideration to introducing a national and heavily-discounted dog microchipping scheme, as was carried out by the Dogs Trust until January 2008.
The answer
We have no plans to introduce a national discounted dog microchipping scheme. The Dogs Trust offer a discounted scheme to microchip dogs at a cost of £10 from their two rehoming centres in Scotland. A typical charge to microchip a dog by a private veterinary surgeon could cost as little as £10 if performed at the same time as vaccinations to about £25 to £30 if that was the sole purpose of the consultation.
