Chip law reminder
“ As of June 10, 2024, it is mandatory in England to microchip cats over 20 weeks old, while dog microchipping has been compulsory since 2016. Owners must keep contact details updated on a compliant database. Failure to comply can lead to a 21-day notice, followed by a fine of up to £500.”
So many times we’ve come across pet owners that had no idea it was a legal requirement to chip your pets. Even if they spend all their time indoors - the pets, not the people.
So when we ask people to make sure to chip their pets, it’s not actually a request, it’s the law.
Don’t get caught out people! Pass the information on!
