Bruce and Lulu

Dear Dog Lovers,

Thank you for visiting the Vets Get Scanning web site. I would like to explain what our aims are and how you could help us.

I know how lucky my daughter Debbie is to have both dogs, Widget and Gizmo, back because of the media coverage, especially on GMTV. There are many loopholes that work against dog owners who have had their dog stolen and having experienced this first hand we know changes need to be made to the present system.

The aim of the Vets Get Scanning appeal is to get all Vets, or their receptionists, to scan all dogs on their books and for Vets to adopt a practice policy where all dogs are routinely scanned on their first visit.

By starting Vets Get Scanning we feel this is a positive step to help the many people still looking for their microchipped stolen dogs.

We need your help:

Please send or take the Vets letter, which you can download from this web site, to your vets and make sure you get a reply from them. Please add your name and address to the top of the letter.

Please add your support to our online petition, which we will present to The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.

Please ask your local pet shop or dog groomers if they could advertise The Vets Get Scanning Appeal. Either pass their details to us, or ask them to contact us and we will then add them to our supporters list.

Remember, Dog Theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in our country. Be extra vigilant with your dog: we don’t want you to become another statistic!

Thank you for taking the time to visit our site and we do hope we can count on your support for this appeal. Vets Get Scanning seems like a simple solution to a growing problem and it really is! It doesn’t solve all the problems surrounding dog theft but it’s a start!

With all good wishes


Bruce Forsyth CBE
