National Microchipping Month

There are some essential costs that few pet insurance plans cover - and mircrochipping is often one of them.

But while it may seem costly and inconvenient, microchipping can offer the same peace of mind that pet insurance can - because you know you are doing your best to prepare for the unknown.

This month is National Microchipping Month - so a good time to think about the benefits of the procedure.
We all know that microchipping can help re-unite you with your pet should it go missing, and this is done by inserting a rice sized grain under the skin that can be scanned to reveal your details.

You might think that your pet would never run away - but by nature pets can be unpredictable. Cats can be swayed to distant neighbourhoods by a better assortment of woodland animals, dogs can be tempted out of the garden to chase cats. You just don't know what will happen next. A collar with your details can help, but ink can run and tags can easily fall off. With microchipping you know that you can be located if your pet is turned into a vet or pet centre after being found. Just remember to keep your details updated.
