We at Spinney Vets are aware of the close relationship you have with your animals and the extent you will go to protect them. Pet microchipping is one of the safest and most dependable ways to keep your pet safe and boost the likelihood of a happy reunion in the event that they go missing. Microchipping is a permanent, tamper-proof form of identification that is essential to responsible pet ownership and may make all the difference in keeping your pet safe.

 

What is Pet Microchipping?

 

A tiny microchip, approximately the size of a grain of rice, is implanted just under your pet's skin—typically between the shoulder blades—during the straightforward process of pet microchipping. This microchip has a unique identification number that connects to your contact information kept in a safe, nationwide database when scanned by a veterinarian or animal shelter. A microchip provides a permanent means of identifying your pet, unlike collars or tags, which can come loose or be removed.

Why is Microchipping so Important?

 

1. Permanent Identification

One dependable and long-lasting method of identification is microchipping. While tags and collars are often misplaced, broken, or even taken off, a pet's microchip remains with them forever. This long-term fix makes sure that your pet's distinctive ID may be used to get in touch with you right away if it is ever located.

 

2. A Higher Probability of Finding Lost Pets Again

Every pet owner knows how stressful and distressing it can be when their pet wanders off or gets lost. According to statistics, pets with microchips have a considerably higher chance of being reunited with their owners than pets without one. 

 

3. Adherence to the Law

In the United Kingdom, all dogs must have microchips by the time they are eight weeks old. Owners who violate this legislation may be subject to penalties. At Spinney Vets, we take care of all the legal requirements so you can feel secure knowing your pet complies.

 

4. Peace of Mind

You may rest easy knowing that your pet is microchipped. You can feel secure knowing that in the event that your pet disappears, there is a dependable method for their identification and return, regardless of whether you are at home, on a walk, or the road. Any pet owner will find this extra security measure to be very helpful.

 

Our Pet Microchipping Process

 

1. Easy and Quick Process

The microchipping procedure at Spinney Vets is simple and quick. The microchip is implanted just under your pet's skin using a sterile needle. The process is not very painful and is comparable to giving regular immunisation. Most animals either don't react at all or just exhibit fleeting pain.

 

2. Registering for a Secure Database

Our staff will enter your contact details and your pet's unique ID number into a national database once the microchip is placed. This is an important step because it guarantees that your pet's chip may be scanned and that you will be notified right away if it is located. It is imperative that you maintain your contact information current in our database, particularly in the event of a move or phone number change.

 

3. Constant Assistance and Monitoring

We at Spinney Vets are dedicated to your pet's long-term care. Our staff may scan your pet's microchip at regular check-ups to make sure it's operating properly and that your contact information is current.
