Pet Microchipping Services in Coatbridge & Bishopbriggs
Protecting pets' safety is a top priority for responsible owners, and microchipping plays a vital role in their protection. Microchipping offers a permanent and reliable identification method, enabling lost pets to be swiftly reunited with their owners. Every year, countless pets go missing and end up in shelters or with rescue organisations. Without proper identification, reuniting these pets with their anxious owners can be challenging. A microchip, containing a unique identification number linked to the owner's contact information, can be scanned by veterinarians or animal control officers, facilitating a quick reunion.
At Micropet, we make the process even easier by providing a mobile service that comes directly to your home. This convenient approach removes the hassle of getting your pet microchipped. Our experienced professionals ensure that your pet is handled with utmost care during the microchipping procedure.
What Are the Legal Requirements?
In line with the rest of the UK, microchipping dogs has been a legal requirement in Scotland since the introduction of the Microchipping of Dogs (Scotland) Regulations 2016. Under these regulations, all dogs in Scotland must be microchipped by the age of 8 weeks. Here are some key points to consider:
- Microchip Your Pet ASAP: We offer an in-home service that is convenient and flexible to suit your needs.
- Government-Approved Database: It’s essential to register your pet’s microchip with an approved database. We can assist you with this process.
- Update Contact Information: Ensure you update your contact details in the registry if they change, so you can be easily contacted if your pet goes missing.
At Micropet, we simplify the process by offering a mobile service that comes directly to your home, taking the hassle out of getting your pet microchipped. During the microchipping procedure, our experienced professionals handle your pet with care.
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.
