Closed Make it Law to have all Cats Microchipped by 8 weeks, like with Dogs

Closed on

It's a legal requirement to have any dog over the age of eight week microchipped and to keep your details up-to-date, let’s make it the same with cats

Microchipping your pet gives them the best chance of being identified and returned to you if they become lost or stolen.

Thousands of pets are lost every year and many are never reunited with their owners – microchipping can help to change that.
While collars and tags can get caught or removed – microchipping identifies your pet permanently and effectively.
