National Pet Microchipping Month returns in June
Sunday, May 21st, 2006The third annual National Pet Microchipping Month, coordinated by the Kennel Club, returns in June 2005.
The campaign has been set up to promote responsible pet ownership and the use of microchipping as the preferred method of permanent identification for pets. Through the events, The Kennel Club hopes to make pet owners aware of the importance of microchipping their animals.
Should a pet go missing, the chance of being reunited with the owner is increased if the pet carries a microchip.
Last year 55 events took place around the country and this year’s activities are set to be even more far-reaching.
National Pet Microchipping Month is supported by Rescue Centres, Vets, Dog Wardens, Pet Shops and Kennels who will be setting up Microchipping Clinics. Microchipping will take place at dog shows and related events throughout the month.
