Collars and tags can be lost, but a microchip stays with your pet for life. A microchip is a tiny chip, about the size of a grain of rice, quickly and safely inserted under the skin. If your pet goes missing, vets, shelters and councils can scan the chip to instantly access your contact details and reunite you with your pet. Microchip details are stored on a secure, Australia-wide database, giving you lasting peace of mind.
Microchipping is compulsory for all dogs and cats in Victoria. Most Highton Vet Clinic patients are registered with Central Animal Records, one of Australia’s largest pet databases. If you need to update your details or are unsure which database your pet is registered with, you can check via Petaddress using your pet’s microchip number.
A microchip is a tiny, permanent form of identification that allows lost or injured pets to be quickly reunited with their owners. It is safely implanted under the skin, lasts a lifetime, and cannot be lost like a collar or tag. If you’re unsure of your pet’s microchip number, please contact the clinic for assistance.
