🐶 All dogs in England must be microchipped and registered on an approved database by the time they are 8 weeks old.
🐱 Since 10 June 2024, pet cats must also be microchipped before they reach 20 weeks of age and registered on a compliant database.
A microchip provides permanent identification and greatly increases the chances of a lost pet being reunited with its family.
🏡Responsible breeders ensure puppies are microchipped before leaving for their new homes.
🐾 A legal requirement. A lifetime of protection.
