How many animals have received microchip implants in the UK?
In the UK since 1997 the Dogs Trust say they have micro-chipped over 230,000 dogs. The consultation document that accompanies the current government Consultation on Dangerous Dogs states that: “Since being introduced in 1989, over 4 million dogs and cats have been microchipped. There are an estimated 8,000 registrations every week.” Petlog is the UK’s largest database of pets and owners – it is operated by the Kennel Club.
