Every year, thousands of pets go missing in the UK—and heartbreakingly, many are never reunited with their families. Microchipping gives your pet the best possible chance of finding their way back to you if they ever get lost. But what exactly is a microchip, and why is it so important?

📌 A microchip is a tiny device—about the size of a grain of rice—that’s placed just under your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades. It carries a unique ID number that links to your contact details on a secure database. It’s quick to implant, doesn’t hurt, and lasts your pet’s entire lifetime.

📞 If your pet is found and taken to a vet or dog warden, they can scan the chip and contact you straight away—making it the fastest and most reliable way to be reunited.

📅 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄?
There are new laws in place to help protect our pets:
🐶 All dogs must be microchipped by 8 weeks old
🐱 All cats must be microchipped by 20 weeks old (as of June 2024)
Failure to comply can result in fines, so it’s not just important—it’s a legal responsibility.

🩺 Only vets, trained pet professionals, or authorised implanters are allowed to carry out microchipping. Choosing someone qualified and animal-welfare focused ensures the procedure is safe and stress-free for your pet.

🕒 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘢 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳:
A microchip is only useful if the details linked to it are correct. If you’ve moved house or changed your phone number—take five minutes this Microchip Month to make sure their info is up to date.

Your pet’s safety starts with a chip and continues with your care. 🐕🐈💛

This is what being part of We Love Pets is all about—kind hearts, muddy paws, and giving back to the community we love.❤

Here’s our amazing Ringwood branch owner, Catherine lending a hand at a local pet food bank in their spare time. Because for us, it’s not just about walking dogs or caring for cats—it’s about supporting pets and their people, however we can.

Have you ever donated to a pet food bank?
You can often find collection points in the local supermarkets! Why don't you buy an extra bag of dog food next time you are doing your weekly shop. 🛒🐶🐱

Branch Owner Jo from We Love Pets Cranleigh has been lucky enough to spend some time caring for three handsome boys while their regular groom is on annual leave 🐴❤️

It’s been a lovely change of pace—and clearly a hit! Jo’s already booked in for another holiday cover next month, and has now been asked to look after them three days a week going forward.

Enjoy the horses, Jo! 🥰
Have you got a four legged friend of the equine kind? We would love to hear about them below! 👇

Room to chirp, play, and thrive! 🦜

Cockatiels—and all pet birds—deserve more than just a cage, they need a home. A space that supports their curious minds, flappy wings, and social nature. 🪶

What does an ideal pet bird set-up look like? 🏡

• A roomy cage with space to stretch and hop
• Natural perches and toys to keep beaks and brains busy
• Daily out-of-cage time in a safe space
• Companionship—whether from you or from another feathered friend
• A varied, nutritious diet and plenty of fresh water

A well-set-up home means happier, healthier birds—and more cheeky whistles and cuddles for you! ❤

This charming little character has been bringing joy to the team at We Love Pets Bury St Edmunds since 2022. Equal parts cheeky and delightful, Mr Perllie has truly stolen their hearts. ❤️

He has a soft spot for nursery rhymes, cartoons, and cooking shows—his TV tastes are as quirky as his personality! A talented whistler, he loves both performing and being serenaded in return, often turning it into a playful game of mimicry. 🥹

Mr Perllie is known for hopping onto shoulders and, once he trusts you, taking a proud little stroll along your arms and legs. Gaining the trust of a bird like Mr Perllie is a special privilege, and I’m sure it’s an honour for the Bury St Edmunds team every time they visit.

Well done, Mr Perllie—you’re one very special feathered friend! 🫶🏼🦜

We’re on the lookout for our next star! Think your furry, feathered, or scaly friend has what it takes? Send us a DM telling us why they deserve the spotlight—don’t forget to include your favourite photo of them too!

We’d love to hear all about their quirks, charms, and what makes them truly special. 🐶🐱🐰🐴🐢

What a PAWESOME week it's been! 🐾

We kicked things off at the 165th North Somerset Agricultural Show in Wraxall, where We Love Pets Clevedon proudly sponsored the dog scurry! The weather was glorious—if a little brisk—and it was wonderful to see so many happy pups and their humans enjoying the day. 🐶

Next up, a fantastic team effort from our We Love Pets branches in Braintree, Broomfield, and Chelmsford, who came together for two tail-waggingly brilliant days at the All About Dogs show in Essex. Just dogs, dogs, and more dogs—what could be better?

A huge thank you to our incredible franchisees and their team members who gave up their bank holiday weekends to make both events such a success.

We’re so proud to be part of two incredible community events, celebrating everything we love about pets and the people who care for them. ❤️

Summer is just around the corner! 🌞
And whilst we may be happy about the sunshine and heat, our pets might not be!

How can we help our pets stay cool and comfortable? 🥵
Whether they bark, purr, nibble or neigh, our furry friends feel the heat just like we do — and some clever cooling can make all the difference. Here’s how to help pets stay safe and chilled when the sun’s out:

𝗗𝗼𝗴𝘀 & 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝘀 🐶🐱
• Offer pet-safe frozen treats (like ice lollies made with water, tuna brine or dog-safe yoghurt)
• Keep walks to early morning or late evening
• Always provide shaded rest spots and fresh water
• Encourage your dog to participate in water play whether it be in a local stream or a paddling pool
• Keep pets well groomed to reduce excess fur and heat retention
• Use cooling mats, damp towels, fans and cooling vests to aid in body temperature regulation

𝗥𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀 & 𝗛𝗮𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 🐰🐹
• Freeze a ceramic tile or water bottle (wrapped in a towel) for them to lie against
• Keep hutches or cages out of direct sunlight
• Avoid excessive handling during the hottest parts of the day
• Use cooling treats such as carrots and cucumbers that have been kept in the fridge

𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀 🐴
• Ensure constant access to fresh water
• Use shade or field shelters during turnout
• Hose down or sponge off with cool (not cold) water when needed
• Use fly sheets and UV protective rugs sparingly and only if they are breathable and necessary
• Ensure adequate ventilation in stables by using fans if needed and safe.

𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.

And remember — signs of overheating can creep up fast. Always watch for lethargy, excessive panting, or changes in behaviour.

How does your pet like to keep cool?
