Microchips for your pets!
Take The Lead Services are now offering a pet microchipping service carried out by our Qualified & Registered Veterinary Nurse; Karina.
What is Microchipping?
Microchipping is a simple safe and quick procedure. It can make all the difference in being reunited with your pet should they stray or go missing.
The microchip is the size of a grain of rice and the procedure, which is carried out by a vet or trained microchip implanter, takes only a few minutes and lasts a lifetime.
How does a microchip reunite me with my lost pet?
Once your pet is microchipped, you and your pet's details are stored in a microchip database along with the microchip's unique 15 digit code.
When a missing pet is found, an animal professional (for example a vet or dog warden) will scan the pet revealing the microchip's unique 15 digit code, and contact the microchip database your pet is registered with. The customer care staff will perform some security checks before releasing your contact details to the animal professional - so that your pet can be reunited with you.
What is the procedure for microchipping my pet?
The implantation is a quick and painless procedure that should hurt no more than a vaccination. In the case of dogs and cats this would be done just behind their shoulder blades by a qualified microchip implanter using a special pre-packed sterile needle. Your vet or local animal welfare centre will also be able to advise you where to have more exotic pets and fish or horses microchipped, as this a specialist procedure.
* AS OF MARCH 2016 IT IS COMPULSORY BY LAW TO HAVE YOUR DOG MICROCHIPPED AND YOUR DETAILS KEPT UP TO DATE ON THE PET LOG DATABASE

Microchipping Cost: £15 per pet
