More than a million dog owners still to microchip pets, as law comes into force


The Dogs Trust says as many as 1.4 million dogs still don’t have a chip, though – despite the law coming into force in Scotland, England and Wales yesterday (Wednesday).

Owners who have not yet had their dogs chipped could be issued with a compliance notice to ensure it is within 21 days – or be issued with a £500 fine.

Adrian Burder, CEO of Dogs Trust said: “For many years Dogs Trust has campaigned to bring about the introduction of compulsory microchipping and registration.

“Therefore, we are very pleased to welcome the legislation, which will go a long way to improving dog welfare.

“Losing a dog is an extremely upsetting time for both dog and owner so we urge the public to check their pets are chipped and address details are up to date.

“To date, Dogs Trust has microchipped nearly a million dogs and we’re still working tirelessly to ensure as many dogs as possible are given these essential pieces of technology.”
