92% of UK owners have microchipped their dog
The percentage of owners who have had their dog microchipped has increased since 2015, from 83% to 92%, most likely due to microchipping becoming a legal requirement, says the PAW Report.
- Over 5.2 million owners (24%) did no research at all before choosing their pet.
- Over half of rabbits (52%) still live alone – equating to around 780,000 lonely rabbits in the UK - despite needing the company of another compatible rabbit.
- Around 2.3 million cats (21%) are living in households with another cat or cats that they don’t get along with, which is one of the most common causes of stress and stress-related disease, such as bladder disease in cats.
