I
am a fully trained/qualified microchip implanter, all my kittens
are chipped before leaving
|
|
|
Why do
we have to Micro chip....... |
|
|
Several
years ago The Government passed the proposal of the scheme where
every dog, and eventually every cat, to be identified by either
a tattoo or microchip.

When
you hear about an owner's heartache when they have lost their pet
or the cruelty inflicted through ignorance or just down right maliciousness
do you feel sadness, anger or outrage? Good news for good owners
- bad news for those that aren't. Identification means accountability.
Here we will discuss micro chipping. The GCCF have stated all stud
cats due for registering must be micro chipped before they will
register him as entire. No kitten from his mating will be registered
if he isn't chipped and breeders will be at risk of becoming fined
or struck off for failing to adhere to the rules.

The
dog or cat should feel no more discomfort from a microchip implant
than from a conventional injection. Micro chipping uses Radio Frequency
(RFID) technology and cannot be tampered with, fade or be removed.
The chip is deposited into the fatty area between the shoulder blades.
The needle houses the microchip and is therefore larger than a conventional
needle, however, a clever design allows it to incise the skin easily
with little discomfort.

THE
DEMAND FOR CHIPPING HAS GROWN DRAMATICALLY!
|
|
|
Taking
Cats and dogs abroad is becoming almost commonplace. |
|
|
The Pet
Travel Scheme (PETS for short) has been in operation for two years
and the system is almost becoming smooth! Planning ahead is vital
as the process of obtaining a pet passport is not quick, taking
an average of 7-8 months. It requires the owner to microchip their
dog/cat. (See pet passport page on my website)..
The Pet Passport Scheme already stipulates that all dogs and cats
entering the UK must be micro chipped. The Royal College of Veterinary
Surgeons (RCVS) has issued a statement that appropriately trained
non-veterinarians are allowed to microchip dogs and cats. |

|
Each Implanter
can act as a mini 're-uniting centre'. |
|
|
Using their
own scanner and the PetLog database, a quick telephone call could
end the misery of someone who has lost a much-loved pet. The good-will
generated by such a kind deed will no doubt, be recounted by the
thankful owner for years to come |
