Microchipping

Microchipping is now a legal requirement for all dogs over the age of eight weeks. We also provide microchipping for cats and other small animals.

What is microchipping?

Microchipping is a safe and permanent way of identifying your pet and is the best way to ensure that they can be returned to you if they are lost or stolen.

Many pets can be microchipped, including dogs, cats, rabbits and a variety of other species. 

Microchipping is a legal requirement for all dogs over the age of eight weeks and from 10th June 2024 for all  cats over the age of twenty weeks. We also provide microchipping for other small animals.

While collars and tags can be lost or removed, microchips are a more reliable and permanent form of identification. 

However, they will only work if you keep your contact details, such as your address and phone number, updated and accurate.
