Compulsory microchip scanning at vets

The Issue

We want all vets to scan all new and current  pets at registration and at every visit to check microchip data to make sure pet and owner match #ScanMe and #CheckThatChip each visit. Our aim is to see all vets acknowledging and implementing as a ‘Code of Practice’ the scanning and checking of microchips in practices up and down the country. Scanning and Checking will reunite missing and stolen pets that have been sold on or kept by a finder. Scanning and checking will also help pet owners with updating their contact details.
