MICROCHIPPING SERVICE
A microchip is a tiny electronic device that is implanted beneath your pet’s skin. Radio waves activate the microchip when in close proximity to a Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID). When scanned the microchip transmits your pet’s unique identification number to the scanning device, this enables your pet to be identified and your personal details to be retrieved from the microchip database. If the unthinkable does happen and your pet goes missing; the microchip can easily be scanned by any veterinary practice or pet care center to retrieve your personal details; it is important to keep your details up to date so you can be reunited with your pet as quickly as possible. You can rest assured that the microchip will be effective for your pets’ entire lifetime and the procedure is safe and simple. Our microchips are registered to the smartrace database which is fully Defra compliant/ ICO approved.
It is now a legal requirement to have dogs and cats microchipped or you can be fined up to £500.
You must make sure your dog or cat is fitted with a microchip and registered on a database. Your dog must be microchipped and registered by the time they’re 8 weeks old. Your cat must be microchipped and registered by the time they’re 20 weeks old. This includes cats that usually only stay indoors.
Our services
Microchips will last for the entirety of your pet’s life ensuring a speedy reunion if your pet goes missing.
The microchips are approximately the size of a grain of rice and do not cause any discomfort to your pet, these microchips have anti migration technology to ensure they stay in the site implanted.
Each microchip is individually packaged and sterile until opening. Every pack comes with an I.D collar tag with your pet’s microchip number; this will enable people to find your details without needing to visit a pet care centre. Also included is a small plastic card with your pet’s I.D number, this can be kept in a purse or wallet at all times.
If you would like to check if your pet is microchipped or have misplaced your pets microchip details we also offer a mobile pet microchip scanning service.
This service can only be provided for individual pets within a 5 mile radius of our business premises; we can travel further afield but this would incur costs of £1 per mile above the 5 mile radius.
If you have a litter of puppies/kittens/rabbits that have been microchipped but are now unsure of the pets identities (not sure which microchip belongs to which pet) we can also offer a scanning service for this.
The benefits of microchipping
If your feline friend ever loses their way or wanders too far; the chances are he/she will begin to visit a cat-friendly home where they will be fed. The easiest way for the family to find the rightful owner is to take it along to the nearest pet care center to be scanned for a microchip. Your details will then be retrieved and you can be reunited quickly. If your cat isn’t microchipped the new family may decide to keep your cat as they won’t be able to contact you. If they microchip your cat as their new family pet; they would then become the registered keeper.
If your cat is microchipped you can acquire a microchip activated cat flap; these can be programmed to recognize multiple microchip numbers; this will ensure that no other animals can enter your home. You can also acquire a microchip activated pet feeder, this is extremely useful if you have more than one pet or your pets require different food or they are on medication.
