Micro-chipping Your Pet

We all love our pets dearly and dread the thought of losing them.  Micro-chipping is one of the
best ways to find your pet should it get lost. This is due to the unique number each chip carries. All your details are stored on a central database and can be accessed once the chip has been scanned.  Dog wardens, vets and re-homing centres all
have scanners and check any stray animals brought into them, thereby increasing the likelihood of a reunion.

The chip is about the size of a grain of rice and
is placed under the skin between the
shoulder blades, using a needle.  The process
is quick, relatively pain free and permanent.

Microchipping is also the first requirement of
the pets travel scheme.

Please note that under the Control of Dogs
Act 1992 : Every dog shall wear a collar with
the name and address of the owner attached to
it. Therefore microchipping is not a
replacement for conventional dog tags.
