What is Pet Microchipping?
A pet microchip is a small electronic device, roughly the size of a grain of rice, implanted under your pet's skin.
Each microchip has a specific number which is detected using a scanner and, when a stray is found and scanned, that number can be traced to the owners registered details thus getting pets reunited safely with owners in quick time.
Unlike tags on collars which are prone to wear and damage, and which can often be lost, the microchip implanted under your pet’s skin is not easy to remove and cannot get lost.
Why is Pet Microchipping Important?
It is a worrying reality that thousands of pets get lost every year. While collars and tags are helpful, they can sometimes break, detach or be removed; whereas a microchip can be a permanent solution. The microchip travels with the pet for its whole life.
If your pet is lost, having him microchipped means the chances of being reunited with your pet increase significantly, provides proof of ownership and a method of quickly identifying an animal. Many owners feel it is now essential to have the animal microchipped.
Dog Microchipping
The law in England requires dogs to be microchipped and serves as one of the most effective ways in reuniting lost dogs with their owners.
Your local vets can microchip your puppies and adult dogs, using an easy, pain-free procedure which is like giving a standard vaccination.
After implantation of the microchip into your dog, you will need to make sure that your contact details, on the relevant database, are up to date.
Cat Microchipping
Cats are a curious species, and can enjoy time outdoors, they can get lost or travel greater distances than may be expected.
Microchipping is a lifetime identification method that ensures that you cat will be reunited with you if it is found. The procedure is simple and painless; it is suitable for cats of all ages.
Whatever kind of cat you own-an indoor, outdoor pet or an indoor/outdoor, the microchip is something to consider.
