A SIMPLE PROCEDURE FOR A LIFETIME OF PROTECTION
Your vet places the microchip just under the skin - usually between the shoulder blades - using a special implanter. The process is simple and causes no more discomfort than other injections. Pets of all sizes, from small birds and cats to dogs and horses, can be microchipped.
Each pet has it's own microchip and identifying number, which identifies your pet when scanned.
Veterinary clinics, dog wardens, and animal shelters have scanners that can read microchip numbers.
The identifier then contacts the national registry and quotes the microchip number, which gives them access to your details as the pet's owner.
You’ll be informed your pet has been found so you can bring them back home.
Registering your pet
Dog registration and microchipping are two separate processes. Registration needs to be renewed annually, but you only need to microchip your dog once.
New Zealand Companion Animal Register (NZCAR)
Registration of your microchipped pet on the NZCAR means that if your pet is lost or missing, approved agents nationwide can scan your animal, search the register and immediately contact you to reunite you with your pet. This is voluntary, but highly recommended. For more information visit www.animalregister.co.nz. Remember to update your contact information on the register if it changes.
