Because We Care

Identichips

We would advise all clients who are concerned about the loss or straying of their pet – whether a dog, cat, horse, or tortoise - to have an identichip inserted into the pet. This involves inserting a tiny microchip under the skin where it remains, and can be electronically identified by a special reader. “Chipped” animals are recorded on a national register and any strayed or otherwise lost animals that are found by veterinary practices, animal charities, animal rescue homes, the police or local authorities can be re-united with their owner through the details on the identichip register.

Similarly, pets that are temporarily travelling abroad must be identichipped prior to being vaccinated against rabies.
