Microchipping your Pet

At Maggie & Marlow, we know your pet is more than just a pet—they’re your best friend. That’s why we believe in taking every step to keep them safe and sound, and microchipping is a simple way to make sure they can always find their way back to you.

Microchipping is a quick and easy process where a tiny chip, no bigger than a grain of rice, is placed just under the skin of your pet’s scruff.

Each chip has a unique number that can be read by a scanner, which vets, local authorities, and rescue homes all have. This means that if your pet ever gets lost, they can be quickly identified, and you can be reunited with just a simple phone call.

Why microchipping is a must

Microchipping isn’t just for dogs—cats, ferrets, rabbits, snakes, parrots, tortoises, and even horses can benefit from this lifelong ID. It’s a small step that gives you peace of mind, knowing your pet has a safe way home.

Plus, it’s now the law for all dogs and cats to be microchipped by 8 weeks of age, or you could be fined up to £500. And if you’re planning to take your pet on adventures abroad, microchipping is essential for getting their Animal Health Certificate.

We make the microchipping process easy. No sedation is needed, and most pets hardly notice the quick procedure, which we can do during a regular visit.

Not sure if your pet is already microchipped? No problem! We can quickly check for you with our scanner.

When you come in for microchipping, we'll help you fill out a simple registration form. We'll then submit your details to a national database, where they'll be securely stored for your pet's entire life. If your contact information ever changes, just let us know, and we'll help you update it, so you’re always connected to your pet.

All our microchips meet international standards, so whether you're exploring local parks or traveling overseas, you can have peace of mind knowing your pet's ID can be recognised almost anywhere.
