The study was funded by the University of Glasgow and the
CVRT Wellcome Trust, and the authors would like to thank all participating
owners and pets. The authors would like to thank the
North Lanarkshire Council, East Renfrewshire Council, Dundee City
Council, Liverpool City Council and Glasgow City Council for their
co-operation at the microchipping van locations. We would also
like to thank the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA), in
particular Elaine Pendlebury.
