Rejected petition Make it law that all pets must be chip checked at every visit to the vets.

Pet theft has risen in the United Kingdom by 175% within the last year, if pets were chip checked at every visit to the vets, more pets would be recognised as stolen and returned to their rightful owners.

More details

Dogs and Cats are sentient beings, they deserve to be with the people that love and care for them, they suffer stress as do their humans when they are stolen. If all vets checked the chip of every dog and cat at every visit, more pets would be reunited with their owners.
