At GoPaw, we understand that pets are valued members of the family. Our mobile pet microchipping service provides a convenient and professional way to help protect your pet while reducing the stress often associated with travelling to a veterinary practice. By bringing the service directly to your home, we can carry out the procedure in a familiar environment where your pet feels safe and comfortable.
Microchipping is one of the most effective forms of permanent identification available. The microchip is approximately the size of a grain of rice and is safely implanted beneath the skin. Each microchip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by veterinary practices, local authorities and animal welfare organisations. This information can help reunite lost pets with their owners quickly and safely.
Every year, thousands of pets become lost or separated from their owners. Whilst collars and tags can be useful, they can also become damaged, removed or lost. A microchip provides a permanent form of identification that remains with your pet throughout their life.
Microchipping not only improves the chances of a lost pet being returned home, but also provides reassurance for owners who want to take proactive steps to protect their pets.
Yes. In England, both dogs and cats are required by law to be microchipped and registered with accurate owner details.
Dogs must be microchipped by the age of eight weeks, whilst cats must be microchipped before they reach twenty weeks of age. It is also important to keep your contact information up to date. If you move house or change your telephone number, your pet’s microchip records should be updated accordingly.
The procedure takes only a few moments and causes minimal discomfort. Most pets tolerate microchipping extremely well and quickly return to their normal activities.
Our priority is ensuring that both pets and owners feel comfortable throughout the appointment. We are always happy to answer any questions and provide guidance on keeping your pet’s details up to date.
Whether you have welcomed a new puppy or kitten into your family, adopted an older pet or simply need to ensure your pet meets current legal requirements, GoPaw is here to help.
