Pet Insurance
Willow Dog Rescue believes that pet insurance is an important part of responsible pet ownership allowing owners to go ahead with veterinary treatment at the earliest opportunity knowing that help is there for the unexpected costs.
It’s important to be aware that not all pet insurance is the same. Some policies limit the amount of time or money that you can claim for. Don’t just shop around on price alone. Ask the following five key questions so you clearly understand what each policy does and doesn’t cover:
* Will the policy cover my pet for on-going conditions (e.g. eczema) into its old age?
* Will exclusions be placed at renewal for an illness that occurred in the previous year?
* Will my excess or premium increase if I make a claim?
* Will the policy cover: congenital and hereditary illness, hip-related conditions, dental treatment or behavioural conditions?
* Is the provider a pet insurance specialist?

Microchipping
Willow Dog Rescue offers a Microchipping service for dogs and cats. If you would like to have your dog or cat microchipped the cost is £12 with all profits going to the charity.
Microchipping uses Radio Frequency (RFID) technology. Each microchip has a 15 digit number which can be read by all scanners in the UK and Europe. The chip itself is about the size of a grain of rice and is implanted into the area between the shoulder blades. The needle is larger than a conventional needle due to the size of the microchip; however, it has been designed to allow it to penetrate the skin easily with little discomfort.
Once implanted, the microchip number is registered to the owners name and address and is logged onto the ‘Petlog’ database. Petlog is run by the Kennel Club and is the UK’s largest database for microchipped pets.
The procedure is done in the comfort of your own home or if easier, we can arrange to meet you at the kennels.
