Join us at Little Valley in embracing the wonderful world of pet microchipping! We believe every pet deserves the utmost care and protection, which is why we encourage microchipping as soon as your pet is ready. It’s not just about compliance; it’s about ensuring their safety and security, giving you peace of mind knowing they can always find their way back home.

Did you know that in the UK, it’s now a law to microchip any dog over eight weeks old? And soon, cats and even rabbits will be included too! Keeping your pet’s microchip details up to date is vital, ensuring they’re always linked to you, their loving owner.

Reasons why microchipping is beneficial

• Permanent Identification: Unlike collars or tags, microchips provide a permanent form of identification that cannot be lost or removed. This ensures that even if your pet loses their collar, they can still be easily identified and reunited with you.
• Quick and Painless Procedure: Microchipping is a quick and virtually painless procedure for your pet, similar to receiving a routine vaccination. It only takes a few seconds to insert the microchip under the skin, and most pets barely notice it.
• Increased Chance of Return: Pets with microchips have a much higher chance of being reunited with their owners if they become lost or stolen. Microchips provide a reliable way for animal shelters, veterinarians, and authorities to contact you and bring your beloved pet back home safely.
