Microchip Identification

Collars can fall off or be removed and details on pet tags can fade or become outdated. Inserting a microchip means your pet can be easily identified by a ranger, animal shelter or veterinarian regardless of the situation. Once identified, you can be contacted immediately and informed of the location of your pet.

If your pet has been stolen and then later recovered, ownership of your pet can be challenged. Microchipping is the only way you can prove ownership of your pet (and yes this does happen).

In Australia, it is compulsory for all cats over the age of 6 months of age to be microchipped and as of 1st November 2015 all dogs that have reached the age of 3 months must be microchipped.

Microchip Fees Start From $45.00
