Virbac launches microchip competition

Posted: 20 April 2017 at 8:33 am

To support National Microchipping Month in June, Virbac is providing a free support pack for practices to use in the waiting room and online – plus a chance for staff to win prizes!

Winner of the pharmaceutical company’s best display competition will bag a 32-inch TV for their waiting room, and there are luxury chocolates for the runners-up.

As well as dogs, the company is also promoting microchipping for cats and is running an exclusive competition for cat owners.

All owners whose cat is microchipped with a Virbav BackHome Mini chip this June can enter a prize draw to win a GPS tracker for their collar to help owners discover just how far their pet actually roams.

BackHome Product Manager, Sarah Dixon explained: ‘There is no legal requirement for cats to be microchipped, but the benefits are clear.

‘We looked at a recent study which showed, in a 24-hour period, cats ranged on average 2 hectares with an average maximum of 7 hectares or about 10 football pitches. One cat even roamed nearly 34 hectares!’
