What the Experts Say

My Pet Matters has teamed up with Southampton’s Bluebell Veterinary Surgery to bring you their expert advice on all things pet health related.

This month they explain to us why it's important to have your pet microchipped and share their advice on what to do if you either lose your own, or find somebody else's, lost pet.

Pet Microchipping - Why it is a necessity?

Microchipping is a permanent form of pet identification in which a tiny electronic chip (about the size of a grain of rice) is implanted into the pet’s skin. This chip is designed to contain a unique identification number linked to the owner’s contact details and is further connected to the national pet database.
