Microchipping
Permanent identification in a few seconds, registered on a national database so a lost pet on the Coast can be traced back to you rather than to a shelter.

- Microchip implantation for dogs and cats

- Registration and database updates
- Change of address or ownership
- Chips required before rehoming or export
- Checking an existing chip still reads
A grain of rice, and a much shorter search.
A small chip placed under the skin between the shoulder blades, carrying a number that links to your contact details on a national registry.
Legally required, and worth doing properly.
Most pets are chipped as puppies or kittens. If you have adopted or moved house, the details need updating.
- New puppy or kitten
- You have moved or changed number
- Adopting or rehoming a pet
- Before boarding, breeding or export
The chip is useless if the details are wrong.
We register it for you and check the record reads correctly before you leave. Half of the chips we scan on strays have out-of-date contacts.
Common questions
The things owners ask us most.
It feels like a vaccination and takes seconds. Most pets barely react.
Yes, and it usually is — alongside a vaccination, health check or desexing.
Through the registry directly, or ask us and we will point you at the right one for your pet.
No. A microchip only works when someone scans it, which is why the registered details matter so much.
We don't just care for pets. We care for the people who love them.
