The GSPCA have been made aware of a recent scam aimed at pet owners with microchipped pets.

GSPCA Receptionist Sharna Leaman said “The GSPCA would like to highlight we've been informed about a scam email circulating, claiming to be from a pet microchip network.”

“The email asks pet owners to verify their pets' microchip details.”

“Please be cautious and remember: Always know which microchip company your pet is registered with. Only visit their official website to manage your pet’s details.”

“Stay safe and protect your furry friends!”

Submitted by Steve on 17:12, 25th Mar, 2014 | 0

Recently concerns over numbers of unwanted and stray rabbits have been highlighted in Guernsey.

From 2012 to 2013 the GSPCA has seen an increase of 104 to 129 rabbits equating to a 24% rise.

With only 8 stray rabbits in 2012 and 9 in 2013 being reclaimed by owners, the numbers of rabbits have proved a challenge at the Shelter.

Saying this, the good news is that the Shelter has expanded the number of pens to help cope with our hopping little friends.

Microchip training expand the GSPCA teams ability to chip animals in Guernsey thanks to Avid

Submitted by Steve on 18:58, 19th Mar, 2014 | 0

Yesterday the GSPCA team saw a flying visitor from Avid one of the microchip companies from the UK.

This was to train new staff for microchipping and to refresh those already with the skills to perform the implantation.

With only 40 to 45% of stray dogs and cats that arrive at the GSPCA being chipped, microchipping your pet gives them the best chance of being identified and returned to you quickly if they become lost or stolen.
