MICROCHIPPING
WHAT IS PET MICROCHIPPING?
A pet microchip is about the size of a grain of rice, it does not have a battery, it is a tiny electronic chip encased in a glass cylinder. The chip transmits an ID number when an appropriate scanner is passed over the animal in question. Microchips are the best way to ensure your beloved pet is returned to you if they are unfortunate enough to go missing. In short it proves your ownership, so it is critical that you keep your microchip registration up to date. Microchipping is now a legal requirement, and the process is quick and simple.
