As a pet owner, it’s important to make sure your furry friend is always safe and sound. That’s why microchipping is so important – it helps ensure that if your pet ever gets lost, they can be quickly and easily reunited with you.
On average, about two stray dogs are dropped off to us each week by a member of the public. We can instantly reunite them with their owners when the pet has a microchip. It is also important that you update your details on the microchipping registry regularly. This includes your current phone number and address.
At Bangalow Vets, we offer microchipping for both cats and dogs. By law, all cats and dogs must be microchipped from the age of 12 weeks old. Microchipping is a quick and easy process that only takes a few minutes. We can perform microchipping here at our clinic during a vaccination appointment.
Microchips are about the size of a grain of rice and are inserted under the skin, usually between the shoulder blades. The microchip contains vital information about your pet, including your contact details. We will also register your pet to the NSW Pet Registry.
If you have any questions about microchipping or would like to make an appointment, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
