Microchipping

Microchipping is the most effective form of permanent identification of your pet and is now compulsory in Western Australia. It is a fast, relatively non-painful procedure, that can be performed during a normal consultation with your pet. It involves injecting a microchip about the size of a grain of rice beneath your pet’s skin, which is embedded with a code unique to your pet. This code is then placed onto a national computer database and a lifetime registration is activated.

Microchipping is absolutely vital in the return of lost pets. If you move or change your contact details it is very important that you contact the microchip database your pet is registered with to update your details. Please contact us if you need assistance with updating your pets microchip details.

If you would like your pet microchipped, or you are unsure if they have been microchipped please give us a call on 9851 1177 to make an appointment.

If ever you find a lost pet please call the clinic or bring the pet to reception so that we can scan the pet for a microchip and hopefully reunite the pet with the worried owners.
