It’s the stuff of nightmares for a pet owner ... coming home to find a gate or window has been left open and your furry friend is nowhere to be seen.
If your pet is microchipped, your chances of finding him or her are far greater.
Microchipping is a simple and safe procedure usually done by a veterinarian. It involves injecting the chip – about the size of a grain of rice – under the skin of your pet’s neck.
The chip is then registered in a national pet recovery data- base, along with your details, so that when your lost pet is found, you can be contacted.
