About the day
National Microchipping Month takes place in June. The Royal Kennel Club and Petlog run it.
Since April 2016 it has been a legal requirement to microchip your dog and record the keeper's details. The chip lasts a lifetime, so the campaign reminds owners to update the linked details whenever the keeper or their contact details change.
It suits vets, pet insurers, pet retailers, pet food brands, rescue centres and removals firms.
