Hi I am Bob and my partener is Julia.
Julia's Daughter went to live in Spain and while she was there she got a Dog (Kenny) from a rescue centre. Kenny had been abandoned in one of those Skips with a lid on.We think he is a Portuguese Podengo?
When she decided to return to the UK she took him to a vet and had a chip inserted as is required to bring him in to the UK.
On arrival at Gatwick he was scanned but the chip could not be located. Other scanners were used and then he was"X"Rayed,but no joy.This resulted in a huge bill.
His Chip was recorded on the Internet Website but the vets at Gatwick would not accept this.
He then had to go in to Quarantine for six Months ££££££s
So if you have your pet "Chipped the "Chip can come out.
Also there are are several different chips and if the wrong Scanner is used it will not record the chip even if there is one there.
When we eventualy got him home he needed "Laser" eye Surgery££££ but he is worth every Penny.
