Microchipping
Microchipping is the most effective way of identifying a lost pet; chips don't come off like collars can. Each microchip has a unique number which is stored on a national database owned by the Kennel Club called PetLog. A quick scan of the chip by a dog warden or Vet reveals the owner's name and address and contact numbers from the database's records therefore reuniting the animal with its owner quickly with the minimum amount of stress for all involved.
The British Veterinary Association supports the proposal that microchipping should be compulsory. They believe that microchipping is part of responsible pet owenership and all dogs should be permanently identified by microchipping.
The cost for microchipping at Dapper Dogs is only £15.00 per dog or if done when you bring your dog for grooming the cost of microchipping is only £12.50.
