All pets in Victoria are required by law to be microchipped before they can be registered.
Bringing your companion into Hampton Park for pet microchipping is an essential step for a pet owner. It’s simple yet crucial to ensure the safety and security of your beloved companion. Pet microchipping takes only a few seconds, and it’s far more painful to lose a pet than to simply get them chipped.
- Microchipped dogs are reunited with their owners 2.5x as often, and for cats, that shoots up to a 20x increase.
- Pet microchipping includes an Australia-wide, 24-hour, year-round animal recovery service.
The Pet Microchipping Process
Imagine if your pet could talk and share your contact information with anyone who finds them. That’s essentially what a pet microchip does. The process of pet microchipping involves inserting a small implant – about the size of a grain of rice – just under your pet’s skin. When performed by an experienced veterinary technician, it takes only a few seconds and is a relatively painless and safe procedure. Pets of any age can be microchipped, and we often do it during a pet wellness check or desexing procedure.
What is in a microchip?
Your pet’s microchip carries a unique ID number that can be read by a scanner. Most veterinarian offices and animal shelters carry these microchip scanners. The microchip ID number will be registered in a database along with your contact information. If your pet gets lost and brought to a vet or animal shelter, their pet microchip can be scanned and your companion will be traced back to you.
The pet microchip goes with them
Getting a pet living in Lynbrook microchipped can be especially important if you plan to move now or in the future. No matter where you go or how adventurous your pet is, that microchip will go with them. Unlike collars, a pet microchip cannot fall off or be easily removed. Remember to keep your contact information updated if you change addresses or phone numbers. All pets microchipped at Hampton Park Veterinary Hospital are registered at Central Animal Records or Australian Animal Records. Please contact the above organisations directly to update your pet’s information. If you microchipped your pet elsewhere and are unsure which microchip organisation holds their details, you can find out by visiting Pet Address.
