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.
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.
