Microchips matter!

 

Is your pet microchipped? Did you know it is a legal requirement for all dogs over the age of 8 weeks old to be microchipped. In the event that your dog is not, you could be liable for a £500 fine. Sadly it’s all too easy for pets to go missing and if this happens it could mean weeks of worry. However microchips are a reliable record of identifying your pet and its address, read our newsletter to find out more about microchips.
