Pet Microchips And Registrations

Your cat or dog by law is to be microchipped before 12 weeks of age. Visit Brunker Road Veterinary Centre in Newcastle.

Microchips provide a permanent form of identification that cannot be changed or removed. Microchips are smaller than a grain of rice and can be implanted safely under the skin via a needle in consultation. The microchip number will then be linked to your details and registered on a national database. Puppies and kittens should be microchipped by the breeder before you receive them.

The microchipping details will be sent to your local council who will contact you to notify you that your pet requires registration. A one off fee must be payed to the local council for life time registration. It is much cheaper to register a desexed animal. 

It is compulsory to microchip your dog or cat and to have them registered with your local council if they are older than 6 months.

It is important that the registration details are correct. The details on the registration form confer legal ownership of the pet. When purchasing a puppy or dog you must complete and receive a change of ownership form that lists you as the new owner. If your pet is lost then the microchip details may be the only way of contacting you. Finally if your animal is not registered with the local council, you may be fined.

For more information contact Newcastle City Council or Lake Macquarie Council.

    I could not recommend Brunker Road Vets highly enough. From their vets to their nurses to their admin team - they are all excellent at their job, absolutely lovely to deal with and all genuinely love animals! We take our two dogs there and have only received exceptional care. Best vet in town.

    I've been taking my 2 dogs, a border collie and a kelpie, to Brunker Road Vet for years now and would highly recommend them to anyone. They are always so friendly, professional and very reassuring. Even my dogs don't mind visiting which is saying something!

    Fantastic practice. Cannot recommend highly enough. Had all 3 of my dogs there at various times for various issues over the past 2 years,and every vet & vet nurse I've seen have been very knowledgeable, professional & caring. Would go so far as to say the best vet practice/hospital in Newcastle/Lake Mac regions.
