Did you know that over half of lost pets are never reunited with their owners? A collar and tag are a good precaution but sadly all too easily lost. A microchip is tiny, about the size of a grain of rice, and is injected under the skin at the back of the animal's neck. This is safe, quick and causes no discomfort. The microchip can be implanted at any age and during a routine consultation. When a scanner is brushed over the coat, it picks up the chip's unique identity number which is recorded in a national register. Now that animals need to have a microchip for the Pet Passport Scheme, it is very likely that if your pet is lost, he will be taken to someone who has a scanner, whether it is the police station, animal warden, veterinary surgery or animal welfare organisation. This means that having your pet microchipped is a better protection than ever before. The usual cost of having your pet microchipped is £25 which includes lifetime registration on a central computer. We are now able to offer a special price of only £17.50 if you have your pet microchipped at the same time as a vaccination-a massive 30% Discount! PLUS: You can now get two months free insurance through PETPLAN for microchipped animals-please ask us for more details.
