PETITION: The Central Microchip Portal is needed to link the 23 UK databases. The Government said it would make scanning, checking & reuniting lost & abducted pets more effective, instead of contacting databases individually.Nothing has happened 💔PLS SIGN petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7486…

@VetsGetScanning @SAMPAuk_ @PeterEgan6 @PetTheftUK @pettheftaware @millypod1 @MissingPetsGB @WaterhousePat @theFOALGroup @Animal_Watch @rosieDoc2 I had the same with a missing pedigree cat. I wrote to the Vetenery Association and suggested they scan each new cat that was bought in to check if they had the correct owner. They said it wasn't up to them to police it. Chips are only as good as the honesty of the people.

MakeChipsCount to Reunite Pets@VetsGetScanning·
Twenty years ago I was reunited with my two stolen dogs, Widget and Gizmo 🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾. After a traumatic 10 days I was reunited with my dogs because I had a famous father, Sir Bruce Forsyth. We were able to get national newspapers and TV attention. After our first live appearance on GMTV, appealing for help, a man called in saying he thought he had bought Wigdet at a livestock market in Southall, DogLost organised an animal warden to check the dog’s microchip number and it was Widget! The next day we did another appeal to find Gizmo and luckily enough a lady phoned up to say she had bought a dog of a man in Hayes Park, who looked like Gizmo. The animal warden went out again and it was Gizmo. If it hadn’t been for my father I don’t believe I would ever had got them back! This was back in May 2006. Twenty years ago, my family and I thought we could help other pet owners with missing/stolen dogs and started the Vets Get Scanning campaign. I thought it was a simple fix 🤦🏼‍♀️ Dog Theft was a new phenomenon, I remember telling people in the pet industry that my dogs were stolen, only for them to laugh saying dogs aren’t stolen - they run off and get lost 😡. Because I had experienced the complete cycle of car window being smashed and the dogs being sold on to unsuspecting new families, I could see there was a possible route to help others who were suffering the devastation that my family and I had just experienced. Microchips were fairly new back then, mainly being used for the pet passport scheme, which is why our boys were chipped. I wondered if the veterinary profession thought that they could help reunite dogs that had been sold on by checking microchip registration at pets first treatment? There were only 2 microchip databases back then! Today we have a fragmented microchip system with 25 independent databases in competition with each other, with incompatible logins and no joined-up access. Authorised users searching for a chip match, find the database and then the problems begin with most databases working 9-5 Monday to Friday, some databases have none GDPR call centres who can only take messages, some databases still relying on phone messaging or emails, the person with your lost dog or cat can wait days or even a week for a response from them. Animals go unidentified. Owners go without answers. With the #PetTheftReform campaign highlighting the microchip problems the Government’s Pet Theft Taskforce recommended a Central microchip Portal, at last a solution to a growing problem. DEFRA picked up the mantle and announced in March 2024 the fix with their Central Microchip Portal the single, publicly accountable system linking all 25 UK-compliant databases with one login for vets, wardens and police, providing instant 24/7 access to all microchip records, saving time and ensuring rapid reunifications. Why was it dropped? Still petitioning, still trying to get microchips reuniting missing pets!

Can anyone help us get 100,000 signatures by June? Please sign and share. Have you seen how many UK pets go missing every day? Have you seen these poor dogs and cats posts on Facebook. One every 30 seconds. They won't be reunited unless microchip portal is updated

@judysale23 @SAMPAuk_ @PetTheftUK @pettheftaware @MissingPetsGB @millypod1 @rosieDoc2 @LisaClareRead2 @theFOALGroup @Dogsof_X You wouldn’t think the petition was to help all microchipped #Dogs and #cats would you! There are approximately 20 million pet owners in the #UK - where are they? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7486…

Unconditional love - that’s what this picture is about ❤️ I hope you never go through the experience of having a lost dog or cat, I have and that’s why I know we have a serious problem, which can be solved! I wouldn’t ask you unless I was really worried about the state of play with the current microchip database situation. Two important things for you to do now to protect your dog or cat. Firstly, please sign this petition to save our pet’s Central Microchip Portal, to see any lost pets get home the fastest way possible, making ID search quick and secure, 24/7, preventing long kennel stays and rising costs: SIGN ON THIS LINK: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7486… The second is PLEASE double check your pet’s microchip registration is correct and holding your current contact information, without a home number, no one can call you. Registering your microchip with your vet is not the same as registering on a microchip database! You must see how many lost dogs are picked up while scrolling through Facebook, with comments saying ‘unregistered microchip’ or ‘out of date contact information’. Please check This post shows you all the 25 databases, with costs and contact links and how to check your own pet’s registration: stolenandmissingpetsalliance.co.uk/there-are-now-… #KeepSafe #MakeChipsCount #ScanMe #dog #cat #petition #PetTheftReform #FernsLaw #TheftByFinding #MicrochippingMatters #lostandfound @PetTheftUK Can you help us get more petition signatures, before 5 June ? @PeterEgan6 @rickygervais @PickliciousF @JaneFallon
