Having a microchip could mean the difference between getting your pet home safely with minimal stress or spending days worrying about them.
A microchip has critical information including your pets name and your contact details. If a stray pet arrives at a pound/shelter this information is used to assist in reuniting you with your beloved pet as soon as possible.
We see some miraculous stories of pets returning to their home after unbelievable periods of time – months, even years to the delight and amazement of their owners.
Microchips are implanted by a qualified animal healthcare professional. They are located under the skin between the shoulder blades and can be read by a scanner at a local vet, pound or shelter in order to retrieve the owner’s details.
It is important to ensure your microchip information is always up to date. For example, if you change address. Animals adopted from GAWS are already microchipped to the new owner’s details.
