Pet Microchipping

Safe identification for pets.

Safe and Permanent Identification for Pets

About the Service

Microchipping provides a reliable and permanent method of identifying your pet, ensuring they can be easily reunited with you if they ever go missing. Unlike collars or tags that can be lost, a microchip offers lifelong security by linking your pet to your contact information through a national database.

The procedure is quick, safe, and virtually painless. A tiny microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted just under your pet’s skin. This chip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by veterinary clinics, rescue centres, and animal shelters, making it easier to bring lost pets home.

Why Does My Pet Need This Service?

Losing a pet can be distressing, but microchipping significantly increases the chances of a safe return. Many pets who go missing are never reunited with their owners simply because they lack proper identification. A microchip ensures that even if your pet’s collar is lost, their identity is still securely stored and retrievable.

Key benefits include:

  • Quick and Painless Procedure: A simple, safe process that provides lifelong security.
  • Registration Assistance: We ensure your pet’s details are correctly registered in a national database.
  • Legal Compliance: Microchipping is mandatory for dogs in Ireland, ensuring they can always be identified.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Microchipping is a simple procedure performed in just a few moments. Using a small needle, the chip is placed under the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades. Most pets experience minimal discomfort, similar to a routine vaccination.

  • Microchip Implantation: A quick, safe process with little to no discomfort.
  • Database Registration: We ensure your contact details are properly linked to the microchip.
  • Lifetime Security: The microchip remains functional for the duration of your pet’s life.
