Accessibility to Microchipping near me services is a crucial factor for pet owners. Here at Blythwood Vets, we understand this and make sure to offer you a microchipping near me that you and your pet can both benefit from.
Microchipping can be utilised regardless of the pet you own: dogs and cats, ferrets, rabbits, snakes, parrots, tortoises, and horses are all capable of being microchipped. Not only is this recommended by our Vets here at Blythwood but there are now also some legal requirements to be aware of: All dogs must now be microchipped, and before ownership is passed from the breeder, all puppies must have had their vaccinations by the age of eight weeks. If you do not get your dog microchipped, you risk a fine of up to £500.00.
It's also important to remember that your pet has to be microchipped and have a pet passport if you intend to travel with them. Just another reason to enquire about microchipping near me at one of your local Blythwood Vet branches, located conveniently across North London.
Microchipping Near Me At Blythwood Vets
Microchipping near me is a permanent identification technique that entails implanting a chip, about the size of a rice grain, under your pet's skin.
The majority of vets, including all Blythwood Vets, local government agencies, and rescue homes have access to a portable scanner that can read the unique number on each microchip. This ensures that your contact information is readily available from the central microchipping database. A quick phone call can bring you and your pet back together after they have been scanned and recognised by their microchip. This alone shows how important microchipping near me is for both you and your pet.
Microchipping Near Me Procedure
The implantation of the microchip is a minimally uncomfortable operation that can be carried out during a standard consultation, therefore sedation is not required. Furthermore, don't panic if you can't remember or know if your pet is microchipped; utilising a scanner to check for a microchip is a fairly simple process. We can set up a team member to scan your pet and look for a functional chip at one of our Blythwood Vet locations. You can trust in us during your microchipping near me experience at Blythwood Vets - we never implement a new microchip without ensuring your pet doesn't have an existing one.
A member of the Blythwood Vets team will ask you to fill out a registration form at the time of implant, after which your information will be uploaded to a national database. The cost of implantation includes the storage of your pet's information in the database for the duration of their life.
Any changes to your contact information should be updated as soon as possible. Since all of our microchips at Blythwood Vets adhere to the International Standard (ISO), they may be used in the Pet Passport programme and be identified by scanners overseas.
The Benefits of Microchipping Near Me
Microchipping your pet is one of the simplest yet most effective steps you can take to protect them throughout their lifetime. Unlike collars or ID tags, which can easily fall off or be removed, a microchip provides a permanent form of identification that stays with your pet wherever they go. With just a quick scan at a vet practice like Blythwood, rescue centre, or local authority, your details can be retrieved, greatly increasing the chances of a happy reunion if your pet ever goes missing.
Some of the key benefits of choosing microchipping near me include:
-
Permanent identification that cannot be lost – unlike collars or tags, a microchip remains securely under the skin.
-
Increases the chance of reunion – if your pet is lost or stolen, vets and rescue centres can quickly identify them and contact you.
-
Essential for travel and boarding – many boarding facilities and travel regulations require pets to be microchipped before acceptance.
-
Supports responsible pet ownership – microchipping helps reduce the number of unclaimed pets in shelters by ensuring owners can always be traced.
-
Peace of mind – knowing your pet has reliable, lifelong identification offers reassurance in everyday life.
At Blythwood Vets, we make the process quick, safe, and stress-free. The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and is inserted under the skin in a simple procedure that takes only a few seconds. Once in place, it lasts for life, offering permanent security for you and your pet. Our team across our branches has been providing microchipping near me for many years, so you can be confident your pet is in safe hands. The procedure is quick and yet provides you with a lifetime of reassurance.
