Safeguarding your pet with Microchipping

While it has been a legal requirement to have all dogs microchipped since 2016, it will now become a legal requirement to have cats microchipped from the 10th June 2024, providing an essential layer of security and protection. The microchip itself is no larger than a tiny grain of rice, discreetly placed under the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades. Our experienced veterinarians will guide you on the most suitable age for this procedure, which can be safely performed anytime.

Documentation and registration for peace of mind

Following the microchipping procedure, we will furnish you with the necessary paperwork, confirming the unique microchip number and registering your contact details with the microchip company. This step ensures a direct link between you and your beloved pet.

Universal scanning for lost pets

The microchip’s technology is designed to be universally accessible. Most veterinary clinics, rescue centres, and shelters are equipped with special scanners, allowing them to identify lost pets and reunite them with their owners swiftly. In moments of distress, this technology can be a lifeline, ensuring your pet’s safe return home.

Simple, one-time fee

To cover the costs associated with microchip implantation and registration, a single, straightforward fee is required. This investment provides long-lasting peace of mind, ensuring your pet can always find their way back to you.

Remember to keep your details updated

We kindly ask you to remember the importance of keeping your contact details up-to-date with the microchip company. Changes in address or phone numbers should be promptly communicated to ensure seamless reunifications in case your pet ever goes missing.
