Checking Microchip Details
In Australia, we have a variety of microchipping databases that are utilised by implanters and vet practices. This can make it hard for owners to know which database their pet is on and how to update their details.
We will be offering to help with this by checking what database your pet is on, checking if the details are up to date and providing you with a guide on how to update them if required.
