They are small, simple and the best way of ensuring that your pet is returned to you if lost.

We recommend a tag on your pets collar AND an ID chip. The chip is placed under the skin with a small injection. No anaesthetic is needed. each chip has a unique code which, when scanned, allows your contact information to be gained from a central database.

We use thermochips which means that we are able to take your pet’s temperature by simply scanning their chip so idchipping has a dual function for your pet. We now have two extra options of a low cost chip without the thermometer function, and of a saving on the thermochip when done at the same time as neutering.
