Pet Microchips - protecting pets in Surrey

In 2016, it became a legal requirement to microchip all dogs in the UK. It is a legal requirement to microchip all dogs in the UK over 8 weeks of age, and cats in England over 20 weeks of age.

Weybridge Vets recommends microchipping your pet as early as possible during their lifetime. The microchip can be implanted during an ordinary consultation and we often complete this during your pet's first vaccination appointment.

Microchips are often compared to a grain of rice in size which then contains a unique identity. After implantation, our team will register your details against this code on the national database - it is then the owner's responsibility to keep these details up to date.

Take a look at our Essentials Pet Health Plan to see the full range of routine and preventative care included for your pet.

If you are unsure if your pet has a microchip, book an appointment with our team who can scan them for an active microchip.
