The Government is proposing a scheme for every dog, and eventually every cat, to be identified by either a tattoo or microchip. When you hear about an owner's heartache when they have lost their pet or the cruelty inflicted through ignorance or just down right maliciousness do you feel sadness, anger or outrage? Good news for good owners - bad news for those that aren't. Identification means accountability.
The dog or cat should feel no more discomfort from a microchip implant than from a conventional injection. Microchipping uses Radio Frequency (RFID) technology and cannot be tampered with, fade or be removed. The chip is deposited into the fatty area between the shoulder blades. The needle houses the microchip and is therefore larger than a conventional needle, however, a clever design allows it to incise the skin easily with little discomfort.
We will visit you and Microchip your pet in the comfort of your own home, saving you and your pet the stress (& cost) of a visit to the vets! Once implanted and scanned, you will be issued a unique barcode & number specific to your pet which is stored on a nationwide database, along with a dog tag that identifies that your pet has been microchipped. He need never get lost again! Microchipping is also now an essential part of DEFRA's pet travel scheme and integral to obtaining a pet passport. Do you need a reason not to have it done?
Interested, then please get in touch to book.
