Pet Microchips
Having your pet microchipped is a highly successful way to ensure that your pet is linked to you for life, improving the prospect of the two of you being reunited should your pet ever be stolen or lost.
Many thousands of pets go missing each year and great numbers of them are not ever united with their devastated owners. Many pet owners, vets and animal charities alike consider that the most important factor in the event of a missing pet is whether or not the animal has been microchipped.
When a domestic pet is microchipped it is implanted with a minute microchip tag which bears a unique identity code that it painlessly injected under the animals skin. The owner’s details are recorded against the unique code to the UK’s PetLog database.
If a missing pet is recovered, the code on the microchip can easily be read by a vet, dog warden or animal welfare organisation by running a scanner close to the area where the microchip has been implanted. It is then simply a matter of identifying the code on the PetLog computerised files which in turn reveals the owners details.
These tiny microscopic chips ensure that your pet is identifiable and connected to you safely, reliably and permanently. Any pet can be microchipped, and more than 450,000 cats, dogs and horses within the UK have had a chip implanted over the last five years.
