Kerry Katona re-united with lost dog thanks to Petlog
Issued N/A
Kerry Katona was today reunited with her German Shepherd Dog,
Kai, thanks to him being microchipped and registered with
Petlog.
Kai was reunited with Kerry after a dog warden from Macclesfield
Borough Council collected him after Kai escaped under fencing at
Katona's house in Wilmslow where she lives with her husband Mark
Croft and four children.
Kai was found wandering the streets around Hawthorn Lane, a few
hundred metres from Katona's house and was taken to Manchester Dogs
Home later that day where his microchip was scanned. The scan
revealed that Kai was registered with Petlog, the UK's largest pet
reunification database. Kerry was called by a member of the Petlog
team and she rushed to pick Kai up from the Dogs Home after she
heard he was safe and well.
Petlog is owned and managed by the Kennel Club, which also runs
the Good Citizen Dog Scheme, the largest dog training scheme in the
UK. A member of the Katona household has expressed an interest in
taking Kai on the Scheme's Bronze Award that aims to promote
responsible dog ownership and, in turn, enhance her relationship
with her German Shepherd Dog.
Last year Petlog handled nearly 100,000 calls relating to lost
and found pets and reunited many animals with their owners. Petlog
runs the only 24/7 pet reunification service in the UK from its
dedicated call centre in Aylesbury and is also a member of
Europetnet, which ensures pets can be identified if lost in over 20
European countries.
Caroline Kisko, Director of Communications at the Kennel Club
said: "We are delighted to hear the Katona household was reunited
with Kai and that Petlog was able to help make this happen. We get
nearly 1000 calls each month and work round the clock to reunite
lost or stolen pets with their owners.
"Kerry's story is another fine example of the importance of
microchipping your pet and we would urge those owners who haven't
got their pets microchipped to do so as soon as they can."
