As well as enabling a quick return home for a lost and found pet, microchipping means owners can be contacted swiftly if an animal is found injured. Vets, most rehoming centres and local councils have scanners that read microchips so they can contact you if your pet is found. Don\u2019t forget to keep your contact details up to date so they are accurate on the national database. Microchipping is a very simple procedure which involves implanting a chip the size of a grain of rice between your pet\u2019s shoulder blades.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At Calder Vets we offer microchipping services for a range of animals, from dogs and cats to ferrets. Visit the Calder Vets website for advice on microchipping your pet, how the procedure works and where to get your pet microchipped, or if you have any further questions, you can also call us on 01924 465 592.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When vet Lucy Feather\u2019s cat Ruby went missing, she was utterly distraught.
