What is a microchip?
A pet microchip consists of a tiny tube (about the size of a grain of rice) that is inserted under the skin. The microchip is sealed in a sterile capsule, there is very little chance for infection or rejection. The process is a very quick and requires no anesthesia. And finally, since the chip requires no power it never needs replacing. The pet microchip contains only a number.
Microchipping Registration
Importantly, once the microchip is inserted, you need to register the microchip. It is required by law for dog owners to inform the Auckland City Council of the microchip number. (cats are not necessary).
Once your pet has been microchipped with us, your pet will be registered with NZ Companion Register.
Your contact information will be available to the agency who finds your pet and scans the microchip for safe return of your pet.
