Each microchip has a unique number within it that can be scanned and recorded in a central database, along with an owner\u2019s contact details. If your pet was lost then found, a vet or dog warden can scan their microchip and retrieve your contact details from the central database, allowing you to be reunited with your pet quickly and easily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>How is a microchip inserted?<\/h3>\n<div>The microchip is placed using a specially designed implanter, underneath the skin between your pet\u2019s shoulder blades.  This should be no more painful than a vaccination injection. We can place a microchip at the same time as a vaccination or other appointment. An anaesthetic is not required, however sometimes we can offer to microchip your pet whilst it is in with us under anaesthetic for another procedure eg neutering.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Is it a legal requirement for my pet to be microchipped?<\/h3>\n<div>In Wales it is now a legal requirement that all dogs are microchipped by 8 weeks of age, and the owner\u2019s details must be registered with a central database. If a dog is found not to have a microchip, or if an owner\u2019s current details are not registered with the database, there is the possibility of a \u00a3500 fine.<br \/>\nThere is no legal requirement for cats to be microchipped, but we highly recommend microchipping of all cats. Microchipping provides a permanent way of identifying your cat, whereas collars can be easily lost and can even cause serious injuries.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>How do I update my details at the central database?<\/h3>\n<div>You will need to update your details each time your phone number, postal address or email address change. To do this, you will need to contact your central database. The most commonly used databases are Identibase and Petlog. If you\u2019re not sure which database your pet\u2019s chip is registered with, simply contact either of these companies and they can point you in the right direction.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Does my dog still need to wear a collar and tag?<\/h3>\n<div>Yes.
