A microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size of a grain of rice, implanted under your pet’s skin. It carries a unique ID number readable by scanner, linking your pet to your contact details in a database. Unlike collars and tags, a microchip provides permanent, tamper-proof identification for life.
Microchipping is one of the most effective ways to reunite with a lost pet. It is also mandatory for international pet travel documentation.
If travelling abroad with your pet, microchipping is mandatory for most destination countries. The microchip must be ISO 11784/11785 compliant and implanted before or with the rabies vaccination. We use internationally compliant chips and guide you through the entire travel documentation process.
The chip is implanted via quick injection, similar to a vaccination, between the shoulder blades. It takes seconds, requires no anaesthesia, and causes only momentary discomfort. The chip is passive — no signals, no battery, no ongoing discomfort. When scanned, it displays the unique
ID matched to your registered contact information.
Whether for safety, identification, or travel, microchipping is a simple step with lifelong benefits.

Comparable to a routine injection. Most pets show only a brief reaction, no anaesthesia required.
Modern chips have anti-migration features and are extremely reliable. We verify placement and function after implantation.
Yes. The chip is only useful with current contact details. Update whenever you change phone number or address.
Puppies and kittens can be safely microchipped from around six to eight weeks of age. It can also be done during a routine visit or at the time of spay/neuter.
