Dogs Trust Kenilworth is getting in touch with all owners to make sure that their dog’s microchip information depend on date to guarantee they can be rapidly reunited with their owners if they do go missing out on.
A Kenilworth charity is advising dog owners to examine the information on their family pet’s microchip in action to the outcomes of a nationwide study.
New information from the Dogs Trust Stray Dog Survey has actually revealed that roughly 28,015 roaming dogs were dealt with by regional authority dog wardens in 2015.
After spending a long time in regional authority pounds, around half of these dogs were reunited with their owners.
However, regardless of being microchipped, an approximated 4,352 dogs were not able to be reunited with their owners, just since the owner’s contact information hung on the microchip database were inaccurate.
Dogs Trust Kenilworth is now getting in touch with all owners to make sure that their dog’s microchip information are upgraded to guarantee they can be rapidly reunited with their owners if they do go missing out on.
Since 2016, it has actually been a legal requirement that all dogs are microchipped, and the chip needs to be connected to the owner’s present contact info. In addition, all dogs require to use a collar and tag that mentions the name and address of the owner when in a public location, even if microchipped.
