Putting a tiny, rice-sized chip under your pet's skin—usually right behind their whiskers—is the permanent method of identification known as cat microchipping. Veterinarians and animal shelters can use the unique ID number included in this microchip to assist find missing cats and get them back to their owners. Your cat's chances of being found if they become lost are greatly increased by this easy and safe technique. Ensuring a successful reunion in the event of your pet's disappearance requires maintaining up-to-date contact details in the microchip register.

Alongside cat microchipping, we also provide microchipping services for dogs and various other animals. At Peak Vets, we strongly recommend microchipping for all pets.
Furthermore, it is now a legal requirement to microchip all dogs. Failing to do so could result in a fine of up to £500. If you plan to take your pet abroad, it’s also crucial to ensure they have an Animal Health Certificate and are microchipped before travelling.
Cat Microchipping Services
The process of inserting a cat microchip does not require sedation, and your cat is unlikely to experience significant discomfort during the procedure, which can often be performed during a standard consultation. If you're uncertain whether your cat has already been microchipped, we can use a scanner to check for an existing chip. It’s advisable to verify for any current microchips before considering an additional implant.
Once your cat's microchip has been implanted, a member of the Peak Vets team will assist you in completing a registration form. After this, your details will be added to a national database. Your information will be securely stored for as long as your pet is in your care, included as part of the implantation fee.
It's important to update any changes to your contact details promptly. All of Peak Vets' cat microchipping services comply with international standards (ISO) and are detectable by scanners, even when travelling, ensuring that your pet's information remains accessible under the Animal Health Certificate programme.
