Microchipping

The GSPCA since the launch of our special offer of £4.99p has microchipped over 100 dogs and cats.  With nearly 1 in 2 stray cats and dogs that come into the Shelter have no form of ID the GSPCA launched an offer to try and ensure as many pets are chipped as possible.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We are so pleased with the number we have chipped so far but there are tens of thousands of dogs and cats in Guernsey and if there are only half that are chipped we still have a long way to go.'

Below are some of the details, facts and figures released last month -

Tomorrow is World Stray Day and the GSPCA are urging pet owners to ensure that their pets are microchipped.

Every month the GSPCA deal with dozens of stray dogs and cats that are found wandering the streets or as road traffic accidents.

The GSPCA and Guernsey Animal Aid receive dozens of stray animals every month.  Some have collars with owners details and some are returned to owners that have left us information looking for their lost pet.  Thankfully many are Microchipped so after scanning them we can quickly get them back to their owners, but not enough!

We all hope that Valentines Day will be a happy one and for 2012 it certainly was for one cat.
