The importance of microchipping pets is so important if they are to be successfully reunited with their owners when they go missing.

The procedure takes seconds and places a microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, under the skin of your pet. This chip can be scanned which will provide the contact details of the owners so they can be reunited.

Beagle Watch has in recent times become a pet-saver after becoming involved in helping to rescue dogs which are found roaming the streets. They have established an animal safe zone at their premises in Fairland where dogs can be kept safely for a short time while their owners are identified. They have assisted hundreds of dogs with only a handful needing to be relinquished to either the SPCA or another animal welfare organisation.

It has been this offering that has highlighted the importance of pets being microchipped, and why the company regularly collaborate with Cuddles and Bubbles at community events to make it easier and cheaper for pets to be microchipped.
