Dog owners in England will have to microchip puppies

 

 

Dog owners in England will soon have to pay for their new born puppies to be fitted with a microchip.

The chip fits under an animal's skin and will contain details of the dog’s owner and address, which will be stored on a central database to which the police and the RSPCA will have access, Making it easier for the human to be traced by the police if their dog attacks someone.
It's a government plan to crack down on dangerous dogs.

5000 people a week voluntarily chip their dogs to make them easier to find if they get lost.
