Microchipping is safe fast and painless way of having your pet permanently identified. Whilst it is important for Dogs (and cats) to wear a collar tag, these can come off and without a Microchip, many thousands of pets would never be reunited with their owners. Microchiping costs vary, from £11 to £25. The microchip is a permanent form of ID that lasts the pet's lifetime. However, microchipping without the support of a professionally run database is worthless!
