Permanent identification for your pet

Microchipping for Dogs, Cats and Rabbits

Microchipping gives your pet a permanent form of identification that can help reunite you if they ever go missing. Quick microchipping appointments are available at our Llantrisant, Caerphilly and Whitchurch practices.

Simple, Permanent Identification for Your Pet

A microchip is a tiny identification chip placed under your pet’s skin. It carries a unique number that can be read with a scanner and linked to your contact details on a registration database.

The procedure is quick and is usually completed during a short appointment. Once your pet is chipped, it is important to keep the registered contact details up to date if you move home or change telephone number.

If your pet already has a microchip, we can help check that it scans correctly. If you are unsure which database holds the registration, our team can advise you on the next steps.
