Rejected petition Ensure compulsory recording of implanted microchip

Many animals found straying are unable to be reunited because although microchipped, their details are not registered with a recognised database.

More details

There is no requirement for implanters to register the microchips with the keeper's details once implanted. If it were a requirement it would make it easier to reunite the animal or find out who is responsible for it in case of any incidents involving that animal.
