Protect Your Dog with Blythwood Vets

Microchipping your dog is an essential step in ensuring their safety. This permanent form of identification involves implanting a tiny chip—no bigger than a grain of rice—under your dog’s skin. Each chip contains a unique identification number linked to your contact details in a national database. If your pet goes missing, vets, local authorities, and rescue centres can scan the chip and quickly reunite you with your dog.

At Blythwood Vets in North London, we provide expert microchipping services to help keep your dog safe and ensure compliance with UK law.

What Is Dog Microchipping?

A microchip is a small electronic device with a unique number registered in a national database alongside your contact details. Most vets, local authorities, and animal rescue centres have access to scanners that can read this number, making it easy to identify lost pets and return them to their owners.

In the UK, it is a legal requirement for all dogs to be microchipped by eight weeks of age. Failure to comply can result in a fine of up to £500. If you plan to travel with your dog, microchipping is also mandatory for obtaining an Animal Health Certificate.

Why Choose Dog Microchipping at Blythwood Vets?

Losing a pet is every dog owner’s worst fear. Even if your dog wears a collar and tag, these can fall off or be removed. A microchip provides a secure, permanent form of identification that cannot be lost or altered.

At Blythwood Vets, we use ISO-compliant microchips, which are recognised internationally—an essential feature if you plan to travel abroad with your pet.

In addition to dogs, we can also microchip cats, rabbits, ferrets, tortoises, parrots, snakes, and horses. Our team highly recommends microchipping all pets for added security and peace of mind.

How Does Dog Microchipping Work at Blythwood Vets?

The microchipping process is quick, safe, and does not require sedation. The procedure causes minimal discomfort and can be done during a routine consultation. Before implanting a new microchip, we always check if your dog is already microchipped to prevent duplication.

If your dog does not have a microchip, we will implant one and register your details on the national database. This registration lasts for your pet’s lifetime and is included in the cost of the procedure.
