Does my pet need to be microchipped to get cover?

It is a legal requirement in the UK for dogs and cats to be microchipped.

Dogs must be microchipped by the time they are 8 weeks old.

Cats must be microchipped by the time they are 20 weeks old. This is required by UK law from 10 June 2024.

You can get cover if your pet is not microchipped yet, but you will not be eligible for Missing Pet Cover until they are.

Remember to keep your microchip details up to date, it helps reunite you with your pet if they go missing.
