If you’ve ever experienced the anxiety felt when your pet goes missing, you will appreciate that a microchip gives you the reassurance of knowing your pet is identifiable as yours and can be quickly returned; even when you’re aboard.

While collar tags are an important element of pet care and security, and still a legal requirement, they are simply not as reliable a safeguard and theft deterrent as a microchip.  Unlike collar identity tags microchips cannot fall off … or be removed.

One simple injection means lifetime protection for your pet

Because you love your pet and want to do all you can to ensure they remain safely in your company is probably enough reason for you to have your pet microchipped. Especially, when you consider that without reliable identification, your pet could be lost forever. However, dog owners should note, Compulsory Microchipping of Dogs  is already law in Northern Ireland and soon to be law in England and Wales.

How much does pet microchipping cost?

Recognising the many benefits of pet microchips, the government is currently introducing laws that will make it illegal to own a dog that is not microchipped if it is older than eight weeks old. It is already a legal requirement in Northern Ireland, in Wales it becomes law on 1 March 2015 and in England on 6 April 2016. Scotland is expected to follow the lead of the other UK countries soon after.

Why make microchipping dogs compulsory?

Microchips are being made compulsory for dogs to raise owner responsibility and improve the welfare of dogs by:

• Making it easy to identify a dog and its true owner, meaning more stray dog are returned.
• Ensuring greater traceability of owners, making them accountable for their dog’s actions.
• Helping to establish liability and prove ownership/keepership.
• Assists in control measures in case of diseases, especially important in those that can be passed from dogs to humans.
• Deterring dog theft.

Leading Technology

Pet-ID Microchips use technology developed and manufactured by leading Swiss identification technology company, HID Global.  Their specialist advanced engineering techniques ensure reliability and quality. You can rest assured that the microchips we supply will continue to function for the life of your pet.

Pet-friendly system

Each chip is coated with an anti-migratory coating called Parylene-C to bond with surrounding tissue and ensure that the chip stays exactly where it is implanted. The inner circuitry is sealed during manufacture to prevent the possibility of failure.

To ensure easy implantation with minimal invasion, our needles are the narrowest on the market for 12mm microchips – so narrow it fits inside most other 12mm microchip needles available on the market.

We also offer 8mm mini chips suitable for exotics and small species. I use this microchip.

Immediately traceable

For added security, we keep details of where each and every one of our chips has been sent and ensure our implanters keep a record of both the pet’s and owners details of each microchip they implant.  This means that, if necessary, your pet can even be traced before Petlog receives registration details.
