In NSW, all cats and dogs, other than exempt cats and dogs, must be microchipped by 12 weeks of age or before being sold or given away, whichever happens first.
Microchipping is the implantation of a tiny computer chip (about the size of a grain of rice) under the skin. Microchipping identifies your pet for life, helping reunite them with the family in the unfortunate event of them becoming lost or stolen. Microchipping is fast to perform, and can be done any time during business hours or during a vaccination appointment or consultation.
