Microchipping

Dog owners are now required by law to have their pets microchipped.We offer microchipping of cats and dogs to the general public at £10 per animal.

Microchipping involves inserting a microchip under the skin of your pet and is a reliable method of identification so long as contact details are kept up-to-date.

This is not an alternative to a dog collar:

• Every dog in a public place is required to wear a collar with the name and address of the owner attached to it.
• The owner or any person in charge of it, is guilty of an offence if it is not wearing a collar and tag and the dog will be treated as a stray if found.

This service is generally available when the clinic is open.

Staff are able to scan stray animals which are brought to the clinic.
