Microchip Your Dog Before It’s Too Late

Your dog’s safety—and your wallet—depends on this: since 2016, all dogs over eight weeks old in the UK must be microchipped, with breeders required to chip before puppies turn eight weeks and register as first owners. No chip? You’ve got 21 days to fix it—or face a £500 fine. Exceptions exist for tiny pups or dogs with health issues, with vets issuing temporary passes. Keep your chip info current on a UK-approved database, and always ensure your dog wears a collar with your name and address. Chipping costs just £10–£30, is quick, and dramatically boosts reunion chances if your pup goes missing. Unsure if your dog’s chipped? Your vet can scan them in seconds.
