🐾 Check the Chip Day 🐾
1 in 3 pets will get lost during their lifetime — but a microchip can be the difference between lost and found. 🏠
In England, microchipping is compulsory for all dogs by 8 weeks and all owned cats by 20 weeks. 🐱🐶
A microchip is a tiny capsule, about the size of a grain of rice, placed under the skin. It holds a unique number linked to your contact details on a secure database, helping vets and other organisations reunite lost pets with their families.
Implantation takes seconds, feels like a normal injection and doesn’t require surgery or anaesthesia. 💉
Microchipping is included in our Bobbing Hill Plan, giving your pet essential protection as part of their preventive healthcare. 💙
Please remember: a chip is only useful if the details are correct. Make sure your phone number and address are always up to date. Not doing so can lead to a fine of up to £500. You can update your pet’s microchip online, by phone or by post (depending on the database). 📞 ✉️
If you’re unsure who your pet’s microchip is registered with, we’re happy to scan the chip and let you know. 🏥
Let’s keep our fur babies safe and check their chips today. 🥰
