Microchipping to be praised in June - Pet insurance for dogs

Posted : 30-05-2008

A new initiative to reduce the number of claims made on pet insurance over pet loss will be launched next month.

Petlog has declared June to be National Microchipping Month, to raise awareness of the benefits of fitting electronic tags to pets.

Having a microchip fitted to a family pet is the best solution against losing them, as a vet can identify the animal once it is found, allowing owners and their animals to be reunited easily.

Marc Abraham, celebrity vet from the Paul O'Grady Show, said: "Microchipping is such a simple procedure that provides a lifetime of cover and peace of mind.

"Having your pet microchipped gives you the security of knowing that if anything does happen to them, you stand the best possible chance of having them returned."

National Microchipping Month will kick off with an event in Battersea Park held by Petlog and Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, where willing owners can have their pets chipped.

Petlog is the UK's largest pet reunification service, holding the details of 3.5 million animals and their owners and managed by the Kennel Club.
