Every year, thousands of owners are reunited with their pets thanks to microchipping.
A microchip is a small, rice-sized device which is implanted just under the surface of the skin of your pet. Once your pet has been microchipped, your contact details are uploaded to a central database so that welfare charities and vets can contact you should your pet go missing.
The government has made it a legal requirement for dogs over 8 weeks of age and cats over 20 weeks to be microchipped.
Microchipping is a safe and permanent method of identification that increases to chances of a lost pet being reunited with its owner.
Microchipping is free for members of our Pal for Life Pet health scheme.
For added peace of mind, members are also entitled to free vaccinations for life, free consultations, operations
for medical reasons and investigations as well as discounts on medication, food and pet care products.

The procedure is quick, simple, and no more painful than an injection. There are no ongoing costs and updating your details is easy.
Every week many pets are reunited with their owners because of their "chip". You should also ensure that cats and dogs wear a collar with your telephone number or other identification. Microchipping is essential if you plan to take your pet abroad.
