Do You Know? Microchipping your animal gives us a much better chance of reuniting you if your pet gets lost or stolen. If your pet is found and taken to a vet and scanned, you could have your pet back within 24 hours. Animals who aren't microchipped could be rehomed or even destroyed because their owner can't be found. LOST ANIMALS Losing a much loved pet is a very traumatic and heartbreaking experience. If you are unfortunate enough to be in this situation, we hope the following contact list of people and organisations will help you get reunited with your pet.

Quickest reunite ever? On Tuesday 31st May we took a call from a lady who was being visited by a very ill looking stray cat. The poor moggy was very thin and ragged looking so we came over straight away to scan it for a microchip. Luckily the cat was chipped and although the owner hadn't updated his phone number, he was still at the same address. We were able to trace the owner within the hour of scanning the cats microchip and they were reunited that afternoon.
