As National Microchipping Month kicks off, we're urging owners to check their contact details are up to date!
Last year alone, 79% more pets were reported lost or stolen in summer compared to winter. Our 2024 stats reveal just how vital microchipping is. Aside from 13,000 cats and 1,600 dogs, 12 tortoises ran away – and one owner even had to put out an APB for their pet badger!
The good news? Thanks to up-to-date details on their microchip, many of these pets – like Bailey the 18-year-old cat, who came home after two years – were reunited with their families.
A vet confirmed Bailey’s identity through his microchip, which was registered with us – bringing huge relief to owner Heather and her family, who had almost given up hope:
“The vet confirmed through his chip that it was him, which was such a massive relief.”
Our message is simple:
✔ Microchip your pet
✔ Keep your contact details up to date
✔ Take extra care this summer
Because if the worst happens, that chip could make all the difference.
