Pet Microchipping
The benefits of pet micro-chipping
Micro-chipping makes permanent identification of your pet simple.
You are issued with a certificate proving you are the owner in case your pet does go missing so that you can be re-united as quickly as possible.
Since 1999 a standard micro-chip has been used to ensure animals chipped in any country can be found world-wide. This is especially important now that Pets have Passports.
About the pet microchip
The pet microchip:
- is the size of a grain of rice.
- is quick and easy to implant.
- is painless and requires no anaesthetic, whatever the species of animal.
- has its own unique number with your pets and your details which are registered for life on a central database.
