  • Microchipping Your Pets in Sheffield | Peak Vets

Microchipping your pet is an identification method for pets, becoming increasingly popular in recent years, and becoming a legal requirement for dogs. If you own a pet in Sheffield, why not check for a microchip today!

 

What is Microchipping?

Microchipping is when your pet is injected with a microchip that contains your contact details and data. The process of microchipping your pet is quick and causes minimal distress to the animal.

There is no need for sedation, the microchip is simply implanted with an injection into your pet quickly during an annual health check. This chip will then stay chipped for their lifetime without any need for maintenance. If you are unsure whether your pet is microchipped or not, this can easily be checked for you. Checking for microchips is a process of scanning to see if a chip can be identified.

Once your pet has been microchipped, you as the owner will be asked to complete a registration form that is submitted to the national database. This information if kept for the duration of the pet’s lifetime.

 

Why Microchip Your Pets?

Firstly, microchipping for dogs is a legal requirement. Without a microchip, you can be fined up to £500! When buying your dog, this should be checked immediately in order to avoid a fine.

Other benefits of microchipping your pets in Sheffield include:

  • Helping locate your pet if lost or stolen
  • Pets can be reunited with owners easily
  • Microchipping your pet can act as a deterrent to theft - It is harder to re-sell a pet that is microchipped.
