Register your pet
… You will need to microchip your pet and register them with us. Registering your pet lets you reunite with them if they ever get lost. Tags Apply Pets registrations … Register your pet …

Congratulations on your new best friend. Now that you have got your pet, you will need to register your microchipped pet with us.

Registering your pet lets you reunite with them quickly if they ever get lost.

 

When do you need to register?

Before your pet reaches three months (12 weeks) of age you need to:

  1. microchip your pet with a vet and 
  2. register them with us. 

You can only register your pet after they have been microchipped. 

 

Why does your pet need to be microchipped?

A microchip is a small computer chip about the size of a grain of rice - implanted just under your pet's skin between the shoulder blades at the back of the neck. It is a common, safe and painless procedure that takes a few seconds. Each microchip has a unique number that can be detected with a microchip scanner. 

A microchipped pet allows us to easily identify your pet to safely return to you if they become lost or stray. Always keep your contact details up to date. 

If you need an exemption from microchipping, you have to provide proof from a vet documenting why your pet's health would be harmed by the procedure.
