Microchipping

Microchipping should be considered as a normal part of responsible pet ownership. Registration to a national database is included.

The microchip implant is about the size of a grain of rice and is implanted by a vet, under the skin between the shoulder blades. This procedure can be done during a regular consultation or while your pet is under anesthetic for another procedure.

Our reception staff will help you to fill in all the necessary paperwork. The benefit of having a microchip is that animal control officers and vets routinely look for microchips to return lost pets quickly to their owners. It is a weekly occurrence for us to assist in getting lost pets back to their parents with thanks to micro chips.
