A review of the effectiveness of the dog microchipping legislation

Tender description

A review of the effectiveness of the dog microchipping legislation. A key component in promoting dog welfare is to achieve better traceability of all dogs and their keepers. Traceability allows lost dogs to be quickly re-united with their owners and avoids dogs having to spend unnecessary time in kennels with possible attendant welfare problems or having to be re-homed. It also allows abandoned dogs and nuisance dogs to be traced to their owners who may then be held to account. It may also lead back to irresponsible breeders or identify stolen dogs and help bring those responsible to account.
