Each microchip has a unique code which identifies the animal, and is connected with the owners details on a central database. It is important to keep those details updated, so if you move house or change phone numbers, please let one of our staff know and we can let you know how to go about editing the record, or do it for you. Veterinary hospitals and animal shelters have a special scanner which is able to read the code on the microchip. Since the introduction of microchips many years ago, enormous numbers of lost pets have been reunited with their owners, when previously they would never have found their way home.

GVH is fully accredited to implant microchips as required by NSW State Government law. We also meet the accreditation requirement of the Australian Veterinary Association in routinely providing national data base recording of all animals microchipped at Gladesville.

Microchipping your pet is an important part of responsible pet ownership.
