Notice Board
Dog microchipping
If your dog was registered for the first time after 30 June 2006, then it legally needs to be microchipped (with the exception of working dogs). The Council offers a free microchipping service. Your dog must be registered with Selwyn District Council to be microchipped.
Microchipping clinics are held on the last Friday of every month, excluding December (date to come) with the below timetable. They are held at our Leeston, Darfield, and Lincoln service centres, and at Te Ara Ātea in Rolleston
For updates, keep an eye on this website, our weekly newsletter Council Call in Selwyn Times and Council's Facebook page.

Tips
Remember: If you get a dog from someone else and it is not registered for the financial year, then you will have to pay the full registration fee regardless of how many months are left.
