Debbie Matthews – pet theft and microchip reformer
2021 Dog World Changer
After Debbie's own dogs were stolen, she was shocked to discover that vets didn't update our details on the database, even if they chipped our dog, and that new customers’ dogs weren't scanned on the first appointment to see if they were stolen, making it very hard for chips to work as intended. She’s spent 15 years lobbying to change this; she will never give up.
