Dog Microchipping
If you’ve just welcomed a new dog into your home, one of the best things you can do is give them permanent identification and peace of mind for you.
Microchipping your dog is a safe, reliable way to keep track of them, especially if they love to explore or chase after things. Microchipping is also now a legal requirement for dog owners in the UK.
It’s quick, simple, and helps ensure they’ll always find their way back to you.
