At Wishing Well Vets in Wishaw, we offer quick and safe microchipping for dogs and cats, giving you peace of mind that your pet can be identified and returned to you if they ever go missing. The procedure is simple, with a tiny chip placed under the skin and linked to your contact details for lifelong identification.
Microchipping is a legal requirement for dogs in the UK, and we can carry this out during a nurse consultation in a calm and stress-free environment.
Microchipping gives you the best chance of being reunited with your pet if they ever go missing, while also ensuring you meet current legal requirements.
A permanent form of identification
Unlike collars or tags, a microchip cannot be lost or removed, making it a reliable way to identify your pet.
Helps reunite lost pets
If your pet is found, vets, local authorities, and rescue centres can scan the chip and contact you quickly.
A legal requirement
It is a legal requirement in Scotland and across the United Kingdom for dogs to be microchipped, and new regulations also apply to cats.
Once your pet is microchipped, keeping your details up to date is just as important as the chip itself.
Quick and straightforward procedure
The microchip is inserted just under the skin, usually between the shoulder blades, in a matter of seconds.
No anaesthetic required
The process is similar to a routine injection and is well tolerated by most pets.
Registration is essential
Your contact details must be kept up to date on the microchip database so you can be contacted if your pet is found.
