Micro-chipping your Pets 

Don't lose your family pet micro-chipping is one of the most effective and secure way of permanently identifying your pet.  The technology to microchip has been around since 1989 and since then approx 1.5 million dogs and cats have been microchipped.



What is Micro-chipping

The micro-chip is the size of a grain of rice and is encased in a biocompatible glass, the same used in human pacemakers, to prevent rejection from the animals body.  In dogs and cats the micro-chip is inserted into the loose skin on the back of the neck using a specially designed implanting device.  Insertion is a quick and easy process that causes no more discomfort than a usual vaccination.

How does Micro-chipping work

Each micro-chip carries a unique number that is logged onto a national database. Against this number key information is stored about the dog or cat and its owner including their name, the owner's name and address. When a scanner is passed over the micro-chip low frequency radio waves created by the scanner activate the micro-chip, allowing the unique number to be read.

How long does a Micro-chip last

Micro-chipping is an inexpensive investment as it should last for the life of your much loved pet.
