Cairns Pet Microchipping

Cairns Vet is offering Discount Microchipping when you desex or vaccinate your pet.

Microchipping can help your dog find their way home when they are lost and can even save their life if they end up in a shelter or pound. 

Since late 2010, throughout Queensland including Cairns Microchipping is now required by law when you sell/buy or give away a puppy, kitten, dog or cat. 

Microchipping only takes a minute to do: a tiny implant is inserted by a needle into your pet's skin.  The chip can be read with a microchip scanner, and the number is added to a database with your details which help to locate you in the event your pet is found lost or injured.

When a vet, pound or animal shelter are brought a lost animal, one of the first things they do is to scan it for a microchip.  They can then contact an animal registry.  We use Central Animal Records as our registry: they have some more great advice and tips on microchipping.  You should also contact them if you move house and need to update your records.
