Microchipping

Secure your pet with microchipping

Many pet owners fear losing their beloved companions. Collars and tags can fall off, leaving pets unidentifiable. Microchipping offers peace of mind by providing a permanent form of identification.

Essential for all pets and new WA laws

Microchipping is beneficial for all pets, including cats and dogs. It's particularly important to complywith new mandatory microchipping laws for cats in Western Australia.

How Microchipping Helps Reunite Lost Pets

Each microchip contains a unique number linked to your contact details on a computer database. Veterinary clinics, animal shelters, and animal control officers can quickly scan this number to reunite you with your pet if they go missing.

Benefits of microchipping

How is a microchip implanted?

Microchips are implanted using a sterile device, typically between the shoulder blades, without the need for anaesthesia. Once in place, they cause no discomfort to your pet.

When is the best time to microchip?

Microchipping can be done at any age and is often performed during routine procedures like vaccinations or health check-ups to ensure your pet's safety and your peace of mind.

  • Rapid Identification and Return: If your pet goes missing, a microchip greatly increases the chances of them being identified and returned to you promptly.
  • Peace of Mind: Unlike collars and other ID tags that can fall off, a microchip remains securely implanted under your pet's skin, ensuring they can always be identified, even if they lose their collar.
  • Compliance with Mandatory Laws: It's now mandatory to microchip cats in Western Australia. This ensures compliance with local government regulations and helps in managing and tracking pet populations effectively.
