PETITION: The Central Microchip Portal is needed to link the 23 UK databases. The Government said it would make scanning, checking & reuniting lost & abducted pets more effective, instead of contacting databases individually.Nothing has happened 💔PLS SIGN petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Quick question. If your dog went missing tonight, would you know where their microchip is registered? Most people think there’s one database. There isn’t. The UK has 25 microchip databases, and rising We need a Central Microchip Portal. petition.parliament.uk/petit…⁠� #MakeChipsCount

PLEASE SIGN, ONLY 2 HOURS LEFT Please support and sign this petition for a single microchip portal, helping reunite missing and stolen pets quickly rather than check all the 25 databases individually. SIGN SIGN Make your voice count #MakeChipsCount #AnimalWelfare

.@Dr_Dan_1 and @PetTheftUK started this petition 6 months ago, since then around 1,500 dogs and cats have been abducted in the UK, many more have gone missing, 2 new commercial databases have been created, and countless opportunities for authorities to scan, check and reunite abducted and missing pets have been lost. Thank you to the 26,645 people who have kindly added their name to the call for a central microchip portal. Today is your last chance to sign - every signature helps 🐾. ONLY TWO HOURS LEFT TO SIGN petition.parliament.uk/petit…

The microchip database petition closes at midnight FRIDAY 5th June 2026. Sign here: petition.parliament.uk/petit… These missing microchipped dogs and cats are the reason why we are so passionate to get the microchip system working. We need a microchip system that reunites missing pets with a single lookup point, linking all 25 microchip databases to one login, not 25 separate logins, available 24/7, not just from 9-5 only on weekdays, instant contact information, instead of waiting for a reply to an email or phone message! That’s why this petition is so important for every family with a microchip pet. These pictured microchipped dogs and cats are still missing, apart from Fern of #FernsLaw, who was reunited after 6 years, being found as a stray dog (second row up from the bottom and 5th dog in from the left). Lots of you will be able to name some of them but now many owners are aware that time has taken away the hope of them ever being reunited with their beloved pet 💔 It was recently reported that approximately 25,000 dogs have been stolen over the last 11 years, that number represents the number of dogs who have received a Crime Reference Number from the police and that doesn’t include the pets who are victims of Theft By Finding. We have half a microchip system in the UK, it’s no good relying on the system that doesn’t have strong and secure backup procedures in place, through lack of continuity and regulations, pet owners are taken for mugs. Maybe one day it will improve but not today.

Twenty years ago I was reunited with my two stolen dogs, Widget and Gizmo 🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾. After a traumatic 10 days I was reunited with my dogs because I had a famous father, Sir Bruce Forsyth. We were able to get national newspapers and TV attention. After our first live appearance on GMTV, appealing for help, a man called in saying he thought he had bought Wigdet at a livestock market in Southall, DogLost organised an animal warden to check the dog’s microchip number and it was Widget! The next day we did another appeal to find Gizmo and luckily enough a lady phoned up to say she had bought a dog of a man in Hayes Park, who looked like Gizmo. The animal warden went out again and it was Gizmo. If it hadn’t been for my father I don’t believe I would ever had got them back! This was back in May 2006. Twenty years ago, my family and I thought we could help other pet owners with missing/stolen dogs and started the Vets Get Scanning campaign. I thought it was a simple fix 🤦🏼‍♀️ Dog Theft was a new phenomenon, I remember telling people in the pet industry that my dogs were stolen, only for them to laugh saying dogs aren’t stolen - they run off and get lost 😡. Because I had experienced the complete cycle of car window being smashed and the dogs being sold on to unsuspecting new families, I could see there was a possible route to help others who were suffering the devastation that my family and I had just experienced. Microchips were fairly new back then, mainly being used for the pet passport scheme, which is why our boys were chipped. I wondered if the veterinary profession thought that they could help reunite dogs that had been sold on by checking microchip registration at pets first treatment? There were only 2 microchip databases back then! Today we have a fragmented microchip system with 25 independent databases in competition with each other, with incompatible logins and no joined-up access. Authorised users searching for a chip match, find the database and then the problems begin with most databases working 9-5 Monday to Friday, some databases have none GDPR call centres who can only take messages, some databases still relying on phone messaging or emails, the person with your lost dog or cat can wait days or even a week for a response from them. Animals go unidentified. Owners go without answers. With the #PetTheftReform campaign highlighting the microchip problems the Government’s Pet Theft Taskforce recommended a Central microchip Portal, at last a solution to a growing problem. DEFRA picked up the mantle and announced in March 2024 the fix with their Central Microchip Portal the single, publicly accountable system linking all 25 UK-compliant databases with one login for vets, wardens and police, providing instant 24/7 access to all microchip records, saving time and ensuring rapid reunifications. Why was it dropped? Still petitioning, still trying to get microchips reuniting missing pets!

THE MICROCHIP DATABASE PETITION CLOSES THIS FRIDAY 5th JUNE 2026: petition.parliament.uk/petit… Thank you to everyone who has helped us reach 25,000 signatures, a huge achievement and something to be proud of. If your pet has never gone missing, this petition might not feel urgent. That’s exactly the problem. Reasons why people don’t sign the petition to save the Government’s Central Microchip Portal, with one login, available 24/7 for vets, wardens and police giving instant registration info to reunite lost dogs and cats without the unnecessary delays which happen now. Most pet owners believe microchipping works. Scan the chip, find the owner, job done. The reality is very different. There are 25 separate databases in the UK, and they cannot talk to each other. When a vet, rescue centre or warden scans a found animal, they may have to contact multiple databases individually — the real problems start when the right database is found and getting a response can take hours, days, or sometimes never happen at all. In the meantime, animals go unidentified. Owners go without answers. Some pets never make it home. A single central portal could reunite a lost pet with their family in minutes. The previous government promised it in 2024. It still hasn’t happened. Please sign — it takes 2 minutes: petition.parliament.uk/petit… MONDAY 1st JUNE 2026 25,000 signatures so far Target 100,000 We need 75,000 more signatures by 5th June 2026 Hold on to that thought: When you have the love of a dog - you have everything 🐾❤️🐾.
