P-05-779 Compulsory scanning of domestic pets for microchips by councils– Correspondence from Blaenau Gwent CBC to the Chair, 22.2.18

Dear Mr Rowlands

Blaenau Gwent CBC does not currently scan cats/dogs, for identification purposes, which have been involved in RTA’s. Officers are currently investigating the implications for adopting a policy whereby these animals are scanned, which will include discussions with colleagues in neighbouring L/A’s. Once the implications have been identified, a decision will be made as to whether it is, or is not, feasible to implement such a policy.
