Dogs Trust #Giveaway

Moving home can be a stressful time for everyone involved can’t it? You have to rearrange mail, sort out the moving van, let everyone know your new address, pack and then unpack again…. the list goes on! One thing that 46% of Brits forget to arrange is updating their dog’s microchip details and this results in a lot of lost doggies!

My mum moved to be near us last year and didn’t think to update her dogs’ details. One evening one of them escaped without her knowing. She assumed she was upstairs asleep but an hour or so later realised she was gone. Hearing the panic in my mum’s voice was awful and not something I want to relive any time soon.

We rang around the local vets and thankfully a kind lady had found her on her doorstep and taken her to one of the local vets. They had rung the number on the chip but of course this was out of service, being the old home number. They had to wait for us to ring and claim her which meant unnecessary upset for both the dog and my mum. All could have been avoided if the details had been updated sooner (and she hadn’t escape in the first place of course!).

Dogs Trust want to raise awareness of microchipping and also the importance of keeping details up to date. They are offering an exclusive Doggy Moving Day Kit, something that isn’t available to buy!

The kit contains:

• An exclusive teatowel, reminding you to update details
• Dogs Trust approved chew toy, in case you forget to pack theirs somewhere handy
• Dogs Trust keyring – another handy reminder.
• Collapsible water bowl – nobody wants their dog to go thirsty!

Dogs are part of the family too and to keep them safe and happy they need a few basics and a little thought from you- update those details now!
