Microchipping Your Pet

Microchipping is a safe, simple procedure that helps reunite lost pets with their owners, and it’s a legal requirement for pets in NSW. The ideal time to microchip your pet is when they are still young, often during a routine check-up or at the time of desexing.

Microchipping is a safe, quick, and virtually painless procedure that can be done by a veterinarian or qualified professional. The chip is designed to last for the lifetime of your pet and does not require batteries or maintenance.

If your pet is ever lost or stolen, a microchip dramatically increases the chances of being reunited. Most animal shelters, vet clinics, and council rangers have access to microchip scanners and can use the ID number to locate your contact details in the database.

Keeping your contact details up to date is essential. If you move house, change your phone number, or transfer pet ownership, don’t forget to update the microchip registry to ensure you can be reached if your pet is found.

Microchipping gives pet owners peace of mind. It’s a simple, permanent form of identification that can make all the difference in an emergency. If your pet isn’t microchipped yet, speak with our team to arrange this vital step in protecting their safety and wellbeing.
