With the increase in costs for pedigree dogs and pedigree cats, pet news pages are being inundated with stories of pets being stolen from peoples homes, and even whilst dogs are being walked by their owners. However, more exotic animals are being chipped for security purposes.
If you consider the costs of some expensive breeds of dogs and cats; and the costs of reptiles, birds, horses and even fish such as Koi carp, it is increasingly making sense to owners to microchip these animals, where there is a risk of theft.
However, micro chipping should not just be considered for pet owners who are worried about theft, one must also remember that hundreds of pets are missing each year and micro chipping is an affordable and ideal technology that can quickly put a missing pet in touch with its owner.
For details about pet micro chipping services, speak to your veterinary practice, or find details of pet micro chipping services near to you by taking a look at the pet shops and other pet services listed in the my pet friends pet business directory.
