National Microchipping Month

As of 2016, it will be compulsory for all dogs to be microchipped so, as June is National Microchipping Month, why not go and get your doggie microchipped? Although I have fortunately never gone missing, there could always be a first, which is why it is vital that I'm microchipped. Sadly, at the moment, there are over 16,000 dogs missing in the UK. Although many of these losses may have been a result of an unpreventable cause, the chance of any dog being returned to their owners is greatly increased if a vet is able to simply scan a found dog and return them to their owner, which is why the Kennel Club and Petlog are urging dog owners to get their dogs microchipped. Losing any dog is horrific for its owner but having the knowledge that your dog is microchipped can provide a huge amount of confidence for the owner that they'll get their dog back. 

Is your dog already microchipped? Fantastic! However, I still highly recommend checking that the details associated with the microchip are up to date as otherwise reuniting you with your dog could prove very difficult. 

Shown below is an adorable video of some happy doggies welcoming home their owners. I hope that my humans think I give just as good reactions when they get home...

So, get your doggies microchipped or update your details now!
