Fleas, ticks, and chipping
This blog message may appear to be slanted towards the UK, but the message applies to all pet owners really.
In the UK the RSPCA are offering pet chipping sessions at various locations. Having your pet chipped helps track lost or stray animals - by placing a small microchip under the skin.
[Note: it is possible to get your pet chipped at your vets... check for details with them.]
Remember, too, the 'summer!' is the season for ticks and fleas.
There is a great deal of helpful information on the RSPCA website, plus articles of interest to all animal lovers.
Why not sign the worldwide campaign entitled 'Animals Matter To Me' - it will only take a moment of your time, and may make governments worldwide take notice. Do add your voice to the over half a million who have signed so far.
If you want to know about the interesting campaigns with eye-opening details, just click the following link to Campaigns - Other

Introducing the New Animal Welfare Act [UK]...
Topical news... as from 6th April, 2007 the new Animal Welfare Act comes into force in the UK.
It is welcomed by the RSPCA. And it appears to require more responsibility from animal owners... let us hope it does what it is supposed to do. It is a sad world which actually NEEDS acts like this... sometimes you could despair when you hear so many tales of cruelty.
I won't launch into my feelings about the judiciary and sentencing policies... that's a whole different blog! [Non-existent, otherwise I'm sure it would create a great deal of trouble.]
Back to the Animal Welfare Act... if you want to check the details of the act out and get further information... here are two addresses which point - they should, at least, keep one of them current - to DEFRA.
First the general introductory page at:
DEFRA - animals
then we have the page which currently has links to, and explains, the new Animal Welfare Act at:
