Episode Details

Dog owners, don’t miss this deadline—failure to microchip your pup could cost you up to £500. Since 2016, all dogs over eight weeks old must be chipped and registered with the owner. If a warden scans your dog and finds no chip, you’ve got 21 days to fix it. Exceptions exist for tiny pups or those with health issues, with vet approval. But it’s not just about the chip—keep your details updated on the government database, and always ensure your dog wears a collar with your name and address. Microchipping is quick, cheap (£10–£30), and could be the lifesaver if your dog ever goes missing. Unsure if your dog’s chipped? Your vet can scan it for you.
