Following recommendations set out by the Pet Theft Taskforce, new proposals to make it easier to reunite lost or stolen cats and dogs with their owners were set out by the UK Government this week.

Reforms to pet microchipping regulations in England include:

• Changes to database system
• New requirements will apply to both cats and dogs
• Improvements will make it easier to reunite lost or stolen pets with their owners

Important information for cat and dog owners can be found on Gov.UK
