Does your Dog or Cat hate the trip to the Vet? I have seen many a dog put all four paws in to reverse as it dawns on them that this was not just an extra walkies, but in fact the K9 equivalent to a trip to the dentist.

While we the owners try to reassure them that it is because we care, your beloved pet dents the surgery’s door frame in an attempt to escape and you can’t help but consider the damage to your wallet…….well there is another way.

More & more independent microchip implanters are becoming available and many of these are offering to not only microchip your pet at a fair cost but also visit your home and microchip your pet in surroundings that are familiar to them, reducing the stress for pet and owner as well as the cost.

The thought of not having to go through the trip to the Vet when it is not required & getting your pets microchipped from, in some cases, as little as £10, will put a smile on both pet and owners face.  It is also now possible from a company called PeddyMark for members of the public to loan scanners for as little as £10 for trips abroad with their pets.

PeddyMark is a microchip supplier that in July launched a website (www.peddymark.com) where you are able to find out about many aspects of microchipping, from the Pets passport scheme to a database of trained microchip implanters, which can be located via a county search.

As a responsible pet owner you will  consider microchipping and want to make sure that the products and the people you choose to help you achieve this, care as much about your pet as you do. It is also important that you receive value for money. PeddyMark don’t hide the cost of the microchip from members of the public, in fact they advertise it on their website. This allows the pet owners to truly understand the cost of the service.

Independent implanters tend to be working in the animal industry before they have been trained and therefore can also often offer help and advise on many other pet related questions. All implanters using the PeddyMark products will also be registering the pets they microchip on the Kennel Clubs National database Petlog. Microchipping is the most effective way of identifying a lost pet; Chips don’t come off like collars can.
