WHY MICROCHIP YOUR PET?

Your kitten can be microchipped at a very reasonable cost of £15.00 if your kitten is lost or stolen you will be contacted as soon as your pet is found. Every single day unidentified pets are sent to shelters throughout the country and a large number of these are eventually killed. In 2009 the RSPCA euthanasia 12,210 cats Many could have been reunited with their owners if identification had been possible. Collars and tags break and get lost. For a one-off payment your cat can be microchipped before you pick him/her up and owners details logged into a central database for life with Petlog.

There are over 3,000 scanners in use all over the country, at rescue centres, vets, dog wardens etc, which can read the unique code stored in the microchip. It is then a simple process of looking up the owner details stored on the PetLog database.  PetLog is the national central database run by the Kennel Club. PetLog will confirm your contact details and you will be reunited with your pet. Microchipping is a permanent way to identify your pet. about the size of a grain of rice. Once inserted, the microchip cannot move about or be seen, but can be read by a scanner through the skin. Please  about this before collecting your kitten.
