This warning comes from Petlog, one of the UK’s largest lost and found pet databases, as part of National Microchipping Month.

Petlog data shows a 63 per cent rise in pets reported lost or stolen in June, July, and August compared with winter months.

Helen Fox, a spokesperson for Petlog, said: “Summer often sees changes to routines, children at home for the holidays, owners going away and generally more time spent outdoors exploring new places with our pets. With this, it’s crucial that owners don't forget about their much-loved pet.

“Ensuring they are microchipped and registered with a 24/7 reunification database like Petlog is an easy but essential measure that can make all the difference and offers vital peace of mind.

“We want to get more pets microchipped and more owners checking their details are up to date this National Microchipping Month, so if the worst were to happen, you have the best chance of being reunited with your furry family member.”

Last year, Petlog recorded a 79 per cent increase in lost or stolen pets during the summer compared to winter.

In 2024, reports included around 1,600 dogs, 13,000 cats, as well as 12 tortoises, eight ferrets and five horses.

Many of these animals were reunited with their owners thanks to microchips and up-to-date contact information.

Petlog is urging owners to ensure their details are current on the database and to consider extra security during the summer.

A microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is placed under the skin at the back of an animal’s neck. It contains information that connects the pet to its owner, allowing vets, councils, and animal charities to identify and return lost animals.

However, microchips are only effective if the owner’s contact details are accurate.

Bailey, an 18-year-old cat from Stirling, was recently reunited with his family more than two years after he disappeared.

His owner, Heather McLachlan, said: “The vet confirmed through his chip that it was him, which was such a massive relief. We never thought this would happen, especially at his age, but he is home, the wanderer returns.”

Microchipping is a legal requirement for dogs across the UK and for cats in England.

While there is no legal requirement for other pets, experts still recommend microchipping them.

Petlog also advises owners to secure their homes and gardens and remain vigilant, especially during routine changes or holidays.

Helen said: “Prevention is of course the most effective approach.”
