Your Pets Microchip

A microchip is a tiny device, which is implanted under your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. This microchip has a unique serial number that links it your pets details on the national microchip database.

A scanner is used to read the serial number. If your pet is injured and taken to a vet or lost and picked up by a dog control officer it will automatically be scanned and you will be contacted saving a lot of unnecessary heartache.

Newly registered dog will have to be microchipped. Unregistered dogs that are impounded and released and registered dogs that are impounded for the second time will also by law have to be microchipped.

Microchipping is generally painless and can be performed during a normal consultation. Many owners opt to have their animal microchipped at the time of neutering.

Please phone reception if you have any further questions about microchipping or if you would like to book an appointment time for microchip implantation.
