Microchipping Dogs | £7.50

This is a legal requirement for puppies from 8 weeks of age.

We microchip pups using Animal Microchips. Microchipping a dog is a quick and simple procedure. The chip is inserted under a dog’s skin, usually around the scruff of the neck, using a needle.

It takes seconds. Dogs can be checked for a microchip using a handheld electronic device, called a scanner.

You must make sure that your dog is registered on one of the following databases (they all meet government standards):

• Animal Microchips
• Animal Tracker
• Chipworks
• Identibase
• MicroChip Central
• MicroDogID
• MyPet
• National Veterinary Data Service
• Pet Chip Register
• Pet Identity UK
• Petlog
• PetScanner
• ProtectedPet
• SmartTrace
• UK PETtrac MicroChip Database

You can be fined up to £500 if your dog is registered on a database that is not on the list.
