🏷️ Microchipping & Registration – Do You Know the Difference? 🐶🐱
Microchipping and registration are both legal requirements for pet owners, but they’re not the same thing!
A microchip helps reunite lost pets with their families, while pet registration is managed through your local council. It’s important to ensure both are up to date, especially when welcoming a new puppy or kitten into your family. 💙
Please remember that we cannot update your pet’s microchip details at the clinic. Any changes to ownership, address, or contact information must be made directly through your pet’s microchip database.
📍 NSW: Pet registration is a one time lifetime registration.
📍 Victoria: Pet registration must be renewed annually.
If you’re unsure whether your pet’s details are current, now is the perfect time to check! Contact your local council for information about registration requirements.
