A Simple Step for Lifelong Peace of Mind
Pet Microchipping at Main Ridge Veterinary Clinic
At Main Ridge Veterinary Clinic, we know how much your pet means to you. That’s why we recommend microchipping for all cats and dogs — a safe, permanent way to help ensure they’re returned to you if they ever become lost.
What Is Microchipping?
A microchip is a tiny device, about the size of a grain of rice, implanted just under your pet’s skin. Each chip has a unique identification number, which is linked to your contact details on a national database. If your pet is found, vets, animal shelters, and councils can scan the chip and reunite you quickly.
Why Microchipping Matters
- ZPermanent Identification – unlike collars and tags, microchips can’t fall off.
- ZLegal Requirement – in Victoria, microchipping is compulsory for cats and dogs.
- ZFaster Reunions – lost pets with microchips are much more likely to be returned home.
- ZPeace of Mind – knowing your pet has lifelong identification helps protect them in unexpected situations.
The Microchipping Process
- The procedure is quick and safe, similar to a vaccination.
- It can be performed during a routine consultation or at the same time as desexing.
- Once complete, your pet’s details are added to the national database.
