Microchipping - why microchip your pet?
Microchipping provides a permanent and unique identification for your pet, which is registered on a central database along with your details.
When a lost pet is found, a microchip scanner is used to read your pets chip and obtain their unique number. Dog wardens, Rescue centres, RSPCA, Police and veterinary practices all have access to scanners. The national data base is then contacted and your details are located for us to reunite you with your pet. This is by far the quickest, easiest and most effective method for finding your lost pet.
A Microchip is encased in a special capsule, designed to sit comfortably under your pet’s skin, the chip and case is just the size of a grain of rice.
The chip has a unique 15 digit code that corresponds with the details which are stored on the data base, such as your name, address and contact information along with your pets name and details.
Please remember that if any of your details change ie phone numbers or addresses then please call PETLOG the national database and change your details ASAP, you never know when your pet maybe lost!
