Pet Microchipping Services in East Finchley
Ensuring pet safety is a top priority for responsible owners, and microchipping plays a crucial role in this. It provides a permanent and reliable identification method, allowing lost pets to be swiftly reunited with their owners. Each year, numerous pets go missing and end up in shelters or with rescue organisations. Without proper identification, reuniting these pets with their worried owners can be challenging and stressful. A microchip contains a unique identification number linked to the owner's contact information. This can be easily scanned by a veterinarian or animal control officer, leading to a quick and efficient reunion.
At Micropet, we simplify this process by offering a convenient mobile service directly to your home, taking the hassle out of getting your pet microchipped. Our experienced professionals handle your pet with the utmost care during the procedure, ensuring their comfort and safety throughout. By choosing Micropet, you can be confident that your pet's well-being is our top priority, and you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that they are protected.
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 your pet is microchipped, it is essential to keep their information current. The microchip holds a unique identification number linked to a government-approved database, enabling veterinarians or animal control officers to contact you if your pet is found. Outdated contact information can make reuniting with your pet difficult.
Updating your pet's microchip details is straightforward but crucial for their safety. If you change your phone number or move house, ensure you update your pet's information in the database. This guarantees you can be contacted promptly, reducing the time your pet is separated from you.
In the event of an ownership change, transfer the microchip registration to the new owner. This maintains the microchip as a reliable form of identification and facilitates a swift reunion if the pet becomes lost.
By keeping your pet's microchip information up to date, you enhance the effectiveness of this identification tool and increase
the likelihood of a successful reunion if your pet goes missing. Be proactive to ensure the safety and well-being of
your beloved companion.
