πΎ National Microchipping Month π β A Little Chip That Makes a Big Difference
June is National Microchipping Month, a perfect reminder of how important microchipping is for keeping our furry family members safe.
π A quick reminder of the UK legal requirements:
β’ All dogs must be microchipped and registered on an approved database by 8 weeks old.
β’ Since 10 June 2024, all cats in England must also be microchipped and registered by 20 weeks old.
These laws were created to help lost pets get home quickly, safely, and with less stress β and they truly work.
π Why microchipping matters:
A microchip is a tiny, permanent way to link your pet back to you. If they ever get scared, slip a lead, or wander too far, it gives them the best chance of being reunited with the people they love most.
π A gentle reminder:
Take a moment this month to double-check your petβs microchip details with your provider.
If youβve moved house, changed your number, or recently adopted a pet, updating the database is quick and makes a huge difference in an emergency.
