Hi, in the UK it is not mandatory to give rabies innoculations, unless you are leaving the country and intend on re-entering (the UK PETS scheme is a nightmare system), then it's mandatory. But it is law here that if you take your furbys out (ie for walkies etc) (they must have a tag, which gives owners name and address) we also at present do not have a requirement for micro-chip, but the law is changing on that one, which will be a good thing, even breeders will have to have their puppies micro-chipped before releasing them to their new owners. I do have all my dogs micro-chipped, the two bigger ones have collars with name tags etc, on at all times, but Kiki (Yorkie) does not wear a collar, but a harness, so I really must get one of those soft release collars with a tag on it. Thanks for your reply, it really does bring it home about taking as many precautions as we can to make sure we get them back if ever they get lost or stolen heaven forbid.
