Microchipping
Permanent identification of your pet
Microchips are very small (the size of a grain of rice) and are implanted under the skin.
Your pet's unique microchip number is registered with the national pet log or register.
If your dog should wander they can be quickly identified by having the microchip scanned and your contact details can be got from the pet log.
Microchips are also needed for the Pet Travel Scheme.
