‘Rink’ the Shar-Pei

DSCF3285-horz

Massive thanks to Paul Saxton at Shar-Pei Rescue of Great Britain for helping to find a home for this very sweet girl.

She came to us as a stray and sadly, as we still find all too often, her microchip details were out of date and her owner untraceable.

After nobody came forward to claim her we contacted Paul for help to make sure she went to the home that she deserved. She had her pamper with The Groomers on Saturday and went to her new home yesterday. Thanks again to everyone who helped and good luck Rink!

Case Study – Microchipping

With just over 1 month until the law changes we thought it would be interesting to share the current situation with found dogs and microchips so that there is some understanding as to what Dog Wardens and shelters are up against and see how this changes over the coming months.

Example: West Lancs area

In February this year there were 11 dogs seized by the wardens.

Out of 11 dogs, 6 were microchipped.

Out of 6 microchipped dogs, only 2 had up to date owner information registered.

If your dog is not microchipped yet we are still offering £5.00 microchipping throughout March so take action now!

If you need advice on updating the details on your microchip please call us!

Microchip Amnesty

Microchip your dog for just £5.00 with us!

With just over 6 weeks until the new Microchip Legislation comes in we are pleased that so many people have already taken up our offer of reduced price microchipping for their dog, which is available throughout February and March.

Remember, from 6th April you will be breaking the law if your dog is not microchipped or if it is incorrectly registered!

If you are not sure if your dogs microchip is correctly registered we will gladly scan it for FREE and check for you. We can then advise on how to get it updated.

Thank You!
