LaraCroft 863 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 All mine are chipped. If they get lost, they can trace them back to me. Not sure about it being enforced as law, as I can't see it being either popular, or enforceable, but the government do seem to like bringing in stuff like this.... Quote Link to post

Terrier Sam 297 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 IMO, the way to benefit most from compulsory microchipping is if its compulsory for vets to scan each dog every time it goes to the vet otherwise theres no way of knowing if a dogs nicked or not. Quote Link to post

Terrier Sam 297 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 All mine are too. The other thing is that, unfortunately, the companies who supply the microchips and hold the data on it will be coining it in with all of the admin fees etc! I moved out about a year and a half ago with my better half. At the time we only had one dog but I rang the microchip company (can't remember the name) to change the address and they wanted FOURTY QUID just to change the address! Needless to say that it's still registered to the parents address with my mobile number. Thats the downside! Every dog owner is going have to factor it in as another cost of moving house. If you have 3 dogs that makes moving house £120 more expensive Quote Link to post

Daniel Baker 7 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Not sure but i think there are courses you can go on which enables you to chip dogs,if so i think worth doing. Quote Link to post
