Consultation on cat and dog microchipping legislation in England

We are seeking your views on potential changes to microchipping legislation. This covers both the new mandatory cat microchipping requirements, as well as improvements to the current dog microchipping system so they work as effectively as possible in reuniting pets with their owners. The Government has extended the consultation on Dog and Cat microchipping in England by three days, to ensure the widest possible range of views are taken into account. The consultation will now close at 11.45pm on Friday 20 May 2022.
