What is microchipping?
The microchip 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, the microchip is inserted into the loose skin on the back of the dog's 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 the microchip work?
Each microchip carries a unique number that is logged onto a national database. Against this number key information is stored about the dog and its owner including the dog's name, the owner's
name and address.
When a scanner is passed over the microchip low frequency radio waves created by the scanner activate the microchip, allowing the unique number to be read.

How long does a microchip last?
Microchipping is an inexpensive investment as it should last for the life of your dog or cat.

Does my dog or cat have to be a particular age before it can be chipped?
It is recommended that a dog or cat have their final vaccinations before being microchipped.

Will implanting the chip hurt my dog or cat?
Not at all, microchipping is a quick and painless procedure that should not hurt more than the pet’s vaccinations.
