Microchipping

If your pet is lost, a microchip can help them find home.

At Terrey Hills Animal Hospital it’s always sad to hear of furry family members who have gone missing. That’s why we want to ensure ALL pets are microchipped. We also recommend you have an ID tag attached to your pet’s collar, as this can speed up the lost and found process.

Microchipping at our practice is a very safe procedure involving the insertion of a chip, approximately the size of a grain of rice, into the back of their neck.

With a special scanner, we can identify a pet that has been brought into the clinic, and it can be rapidly reunited with its owner.

Making sure microchip details are up to date

Microchip details are no good if the phone number is disconnected or you’ve moved house! So each time you change your contact details, make sure you update them on the microchip register.
