#Microchipping

The Microchip is mandatory, but beyond that is a very important procedure that allows us to always identify the pet when they get lost! It’s for their good ☺️❤️ #microchip #puppy #braco

Moo was 12 weeks old when the Vet turned to Mum and said, "I'm going to break the law right now. But I am not microchipping her. She's too small to handle the needle and I will take the punishment if I have to". Where we live all dogs MUST be microchipped by 12 weeks old. If not microchipped by 12 weeks you can face a fine of upwards of $5k. The problem is the needle they use to insert the microchip is quite large. Moo was very tiny and WEAK. The vets concerns were that Moo's body would reject the "large" chip or the needle would cause injury. Moo ended up being microchipped at 16 weeks old. She had put on weight and was getting healthier daily. This made the Vet much happier and she was confident in microchipping her. Aside from a very delayed yelp (nearly a minute after the procedure was finished) Moo was fine. Thankfully we've never needed to use her microchip details for identification (just when attending a new vet). Are your dogs microchipped?

Did you know that if you live in England, your cat must be microchipped and registered by the time they’re 20 weeks old? This includes cats that usually only stay indoors! 🐈‍⬛🏠 If you live in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, microchipping cats is optional. If your cat gets lost or stolen, having a microchip gives you a better chance of finding them. Find out more at www.gov.uk/get-your-dog-cat-microchipped

Cats love to roam but sometimes they might need our help to find their way back home. Losing a pet is scary, but microchipping helps reunite lost pets with their owners. This is your reminder to make sure your details are up to date. @thekennelclub #HillsPetNutrition #HillsSciencePlan #petmicrochipping #catlover #lostandfoundpets #checkthechip #catmicrochipping

All cat owners should now have their pets microchipped as new legislation comes into force yesterday(10 June). Owners must ensure their cat is microchipped before they reach the age of 20 weeks with their contact details stored and kept up to date in an approved pet microchipping database. With more than 9 million pet cats in England, the introduction of mandatory microchipping will make it easier for lost or stray pet cats to be reunited with their owners and returned home safely. Microchipping is already compulsory for dogs and is proven to be the most effective method for identifying lost pets, with microchipped dogs more than twice as likely to be reunited with their owner. Microchips are safe and easy to implant with an average cost of around £25 for microchipping and registration. Charities and reputable cat rescue organisations may be able to microchip your cat for a reduced rate. The process of microchipping involves the insertion of a chip, generally around the size of a grain of rice, under the skin of a pet. The microchip has a unique serial number that the keeper needs to register on a database. When an animal is found, the microchip can be read with a scanner and the registered keeper identified on a database so the pet can quickly be reunited with them. Owned cats must be microchipped before reaching 20 weeks of age, with their contact details stored and kept up to date on a pet microchipping database. This includes cats that usually only stay indoors. Microchipping is not compulsory for free living cats that live with little or no human interaction or dependency, such as farm, feral or community cats. The legal deadline was confirmed in legislation laid in March 2023 giving owners overs a year to comply with the new requirements. Failing to comply with the law could see owners receive a fine of up to £500. #microchip #cat #cats #catsofig #catsofinsta #catsofinstagram #catstagram #cats_of_instagram #cats_of_world
