Pet Microchipping Services in Stotfold

Pet safety is a top priority for responsible owners, and microchipping is crucial for their well-being. It provides a permanent and reliable method of identification for pets, allowing lost pets to be quickly reunited with their owners. Each year, many pets go missing and end up in shelters or with rescue organisations. Reuniting these pets with their worried owners can be difficult without proper identification. A microchip contains a unique identification number linked to the pet owner's contact information, which can be scanned by a veterinarian or animal control officer, leading to a swift reunion.

At Micropet, we simplify the process by offering a mobile service direct to your home. This takes the hassle out of getting your pet microchipped.

What Are the Legal Requirements?

Under the 'Microchipping of Dogs and Cats (England) Regulations 2023,’ all dogs in the UK and cats in England must be microchipped by the time they are 8 weeks old (dogs) and 20 weeks (cats). Key points to note:

  • Microchip Your Pet: We offer a convenient 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 is 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 If your contact information is outdated, it can be difficult to reunite you with your pet.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.
