Microchipping Your Dog at Maven Vets

Ensuring your dog’s safety starts with microchipping—a secure and permanent identification system. This tiny chip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted beneath your dog’s skin and stores essential information such as your contact details. Should your dog ever go missing, the chip can be scanned by vets, local authorities, or rescue centres, helping to reunite you with your pet. Maven Vets offers professional microchipping services in Surrey, ensuring your dog stays safe and meets legal requirements.

Microchipping is not only for dogs but also for cats, ferrets, rabbits, snakes, parrots, tortoises and horses and comes highly recommended by all the team at Maven Vets. It is now also a legal requirement for all dogs to be microchipped, and all puppies must be vaccinated by 8 weeks of age before ownership is transferred from the breeder. You can be fined up to £500.00 if your dog is not microchipped. It is also worth noting, that if you are planning on taking your pet abroad, they must be microchipped and have a pet passport.

What Is Dog Microchipping?

A microchip is a small, electronic device carrying a unique identification number linked to a central database that holds your contact information. Most veterinary practices, local councils, and rescue organisations have scanners capable of reading the chip, allowing them to contact you quickly if your pet is found.

In the UK, it is a legal requirement for all dogs to be microchipped by the time they are eight weeks old. Failure to comply may result in a fine of up to £500. Additionally, if you plan to travel with your dog, microchipping is mandatory for obtaining an animal health certificate. Maven Vets is here to help ensure your dog is properly microchipped and fully compliant with these regulations.

Why Choose Dog Microchipping at Maven Vets?

Losing a pet is a distressing experience for any dog owner, and relying solely on collars or tags, which can break or fall off, is not always enough. Microchipping provides a permanent, secure form of identification that cannot be lost or removed, making it the most reliable way to protect your pet.

At Maven Vets, we use microchips that adhere to International Standards (ISO), making them recognised both in the UK and abroad. This is especially important if you’re planning to travel internationally with your dog.

We also extend our microchipping services to other animals, including cats, ferrets, rabbits, parrots, reptiles, and more. Our experienced team highly recommends microchipping to ensure your pet’s safety and security.

How Does Dog Microchipping Work at Maven Vets?

The microchipping procedure at Maven Vets is quick, safe, and minimally invasive. There’s no need for sedation, as the process causes little to no discomfort and can be performed during a standard consultation.

Before implanting a new microchip, we’ll scan your dog to check if one is already present. If your dog doesn’t have a chip, we’ll implant it and register the unique identification number in a national database. This registration service is included in the microchipping fee, ensuring your pet’s details are securely stored for their lifetime.

If you’re unsure whether your dog is already microchipped or if your contact information needs updating, our team is happy to assist. Keeping your details current in the database is essential to ensure a swift reunion if your pet ever goes missing.
