Pet Microchipping Services in Chigwell & Loughton
Ensuring the safety of pets is a top priority for responsible owners, and microchipping is a crucial part of this. It provides a permanent and reliable method of identification, making it easier to swiftly reunite lost pets with their owners. Every year, many pets go missing and end up in shelters or with rescue organisations. Without proper identification, reuniting these pets with their worried owners can be difficult. A microchip, which contains a unique identification number linked to the owner's contact information, can be scanned by vets or animal control officers, facilitating a quick reunion.
At Micropet, we simplify the process by offering a mobile service directly to your home. This convenient approach removes the hassle of getting your pet microchipped. Our experienced professionals handle your pet with the utmost care during the microchipping procedure.
What Are the Legal Requirements?
Under the 'Microchipping of Dogs and Cats (England) Regulations 2023,’ all dogs and cats in the UK must be microchipped by the time they are 8 weeks old (dogs) and 20 weeks (cats). Key points to note:
- Microchip Your Pet ASAP: We offer an in-home service, flexible to your needs.
- Government-Approved Database: Register your pet’s microchip with an approved database.
- Update Contact Information: Always update your contact details in the registry if they change to ensure you can be contacted if your pet goes missing.
How Mobile Microchipping Works
Microchipping is a simple process that ensures your pet's safety and identification. A tiny microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is inserted under your pet's skin using a specialised needle. The microchip contains a unique number linked to a government-approved database. The microchip can be scanned if your pet is lost or stolen, enabling a quick reunion.
Our mobile microchipping service does not involve tracking devices or GPS technology. It simply serves as a reliable identification method if your pet is found. By microchipping your pet, you take a key step in ensuring their safety while complying with the law.
The Importance of Updating Your Pet’s Microchip Information
Once microchipped, it’s essential to keep your pet's information up to date. The microchip contains a unique number linked to a government-approved database, allowing vets or animal control officers to contact you if your pet is found. If your contact information is outdated, it can be difficult to reunite you with your pet.
Updating your pet's microchip information is simple but crucial for their safety. If you change your phone number or move, update your pet's information on the database. This ensures you can be reached promptly, minimising the time your pet spends separated from you.
If ownership changes, transfer the microchip registration to the new owner. This ensures the microchip remains a reliable means of identification and facilitates a swift reunion if the pet becomes lost.
By keeping your pet's microchip information updated, you maximise the effectiveness of this identification tool and increase the
chances of a successful reunion if your pet goes missing. Stay proactive to ensure the safety and well-being of your beloved pet.
