About Us
If your dog is microchipped you need to read on as the Vets Get Scanning appeal affects you!
Vets sell us microchips proclaiming what a wonderful system it is and it is when it works! What Vets don’t tell you is that they will not scan all new dogs registering at their practices for microchips because of data protection issues and they don’t have the time to check details of the registered keeper.
What this means is that if your dog is stolen and sold on to an unsuspecting new owner when they go to a Vet, the dog will not be scanned because an owner is present and consequently you won’t get your dog back home!
The whole microchipping system in place today is a farce and seriously needs over-hauling if not completely updating.
Simple changes like making a microchip proof of ownership (See Tinkerbell and Borris’ stories), the routine scanning of dogs and details of owners checked by Vets, all Rescues and Councils should scan every dog bought to them as strays and hand overs no change of ownership should be made [...]

Bruce’s Message
Dear Dog Lovers,
Thank you for visiting the Vets Get Scanning web site. I would like to explain what our aims are and how you could help us.
I know how lucky my daughter Debbie and her husband Richard are to have both dogs, Widget and Gizmo, back home after they were stolen in May 2006. This was purely because of the media coverage in the Daily Mirror, on the BBC News and especially on GMTV (video clips are on the stories page).
There are many loopholes that work against responsible dog owners and their microchipped pet. After a dog is stolen and having experienced this first hand, we know the changes that need to be made to the present system. You will only find out who is not scanning for microchips when you need it the most.
The aim of the Vets Get Scanning appeal is to get all Vets to adopt a practice policy where all dogs are routinely scanned for microchips on their first visit. When a dog is taken into the veterinary practice with an owner no check for [...]

Every vets practice sets their own practice policies, if the following vets can routinely scan all registering pets, so can your’s!! All you have to do is have the conversation with them to raise awareness of this heartbreaking situation! You know it makes sense and so will they! Let us know if your vet scans for microchips and checks ownership details or if they have the new high tech Halo Microchip Scanner like the following vets.
TV Vet Joe Inglis was asked ‘How can we encourage more vets to routinely scan all new registering pets for a microchip?’ Joe answered ‘I think it is just a process of raising awareness and driving home the importance of scanning new pets every time. It’s certainly something we’re going to be doing from now on here at Vet’s Klinic and I think when other vets hear the compelling case for doing so, more will follow suit.’
TV vet Zara Boland was totally unaware of this issue with stolen dogs being sold on to unsuspecting new owners and can understand the importance of routinely scanning new [...]
