June sees the launch of National Microchipping Month, organised annually by the Kennel Club’s pet reunification service, Petlog. The campaign aims to encourage vets from around the country to hold microchipping clinics in their surgeries to highlight how microchipping can ensure you never lose that special someone in your life.

The events provide a great opportunity for pet owners to develop their understanding of the processes involved and the services available to them and their pets through Petlog, the UK’s largest reunification database.

Being a part of June’s National Microchipping Month couldn’t be easier. Vet surgeries have been putting their events up on the Kennel Club website, where pet owners can now go and find the clinic nearest to them. The Kennel Club is encouraging pet owners to take their pets along to one of the hundreds of clinics up and down the country, and have their pet microchipped. From elephants to reindeer, Petlog registers them all!

This year’s campaign is supported by Petlog Premium, a service designed to save customers money by allowing them to pay a one-off fee to update their details for the rest of their pet’s lifetime. Sadly, many pets are never reunited with their owners as they move address and become untraceable.

Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club spokesperson, said, “June is the focus of our campaign to promote responsible pet ownership through microchipping. The events themselves are more than just microchipping clinics - they are there to provide advice and information to the general public about pet ownership and the best way to prevent losing your pet. We have had so much support from so many vet practices and we expect this year to be our most successful yet!”
