A microchip is a tiny device (about the size of a grain of rice) injected under your pet’s skin during a normal consultation. Each chip contains a unique code linked to a national database, making it the most reliable form of permanent identification. If your pet is lost, vets and shelters can scan the chip to access your contact details and reunite you quickly.

MICROCHIPPING
In most Australian states, microchipping is compulsory. Under Queensland law, dogs and cats must be microchipped before sale or transfer and by 12 weeks of age. Puppies require a Breeder Supply Number (apply through the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries: qdbr.daf.qld.gov.au).
If your pet isn’t microchipped, contact us to book an appointment. If you find a lost animal, bring it in for a free scan so we can help it get home. Our team is also happy to answer any questions about microchips, supply numbers, or registration.
