All pet cats in England to be microchipped by 10 June 2024 - or face a £500 fine

On 13 March 2022, the Government announced that all cats in England would need to be microchipped by 10 June 2024.  If your cat is found to be unchipped, you have 21 days to chip them or face a fine. Cats are notorious wanderers and a microchip gives them a far greater chance of being reunited with you should they get lost.

Regular fur & skin checks

Checking skin for any bites and fur for any fleas and flea dirt can really help in preventing an infestation developing.  The sooner you spot anything suspicious, the better!

Bathing and / or brushing

A good quality pet shampoo and regular brushing not only helps to remove any lurking fleas, it also does wonders for your pet's coat. 

Vacuuming

We know.  Its a chore! But it's a very effective way to get rid of any pesky little flea eggs that may have been hidden in nooks and crannies waiting for hatch day.
