🧡🧡🧡National Microchipping Month 🧡🧡🧡
🎉🎉🎉10% off microchipping for June only 🎉🎉🎉
😊Run by the Royal Kennel Club and Petlog, it aims to raise awareness of the importance of keeping the details attached to your dog’s microchip correct and up to date 😊
🐾A microchip is no bigger than a grain of rice, and having one injected is a harmless procedure that is over within a few minutes. Once implanted, the microchip will last a lifetime, and is a great way of safely and effectively ensuring that your pet can be returned to you, should they ever go missing.
🐶Why is microchipping essential?🐶
For dog owner's it is a legal requirement for your dog to be microchipped. It’s also a requirement to make sure that the details held against the chip are correct at all times. In England it is a legal requirement for Cats to be microchipped, however it is highly recommended in Wales too.
❓Whose responsibility is it to microchip a puppy❓
It's a dog breeder's responsibility to ensure puppies are microchipped before selling them. Puppies cannot be sold until they're eight weeks old, and they must be microchipped before you can buy them.
If you're buying a puppy, make sure they're microchipped before taking them home.
⚠What happens if I don't get my dog microchipped?⚠
If your dog isn't microchipped and registered on an approved database, you could be served with a notice ordering you to microchip your dog. You'll have 21 days to do so or you may be liable to pay a £500 fine and could face criminal prosecution.
If your contact details change and you don't update them on the database, then you could also receive a notice and may be liable to pay a fine of £500.
