Everyday unidentified pets are humanely destroyed at Dog & Cat Homes throughout Northern Ireland.

However, many of these pets could have been saved & re-united with their worried owners if only they had could have been identified.  Is it worth the risk? Have your pet microchipped today

Collars and tags are useful but all too frequently a dog escapes because it has “slipped its collar”, or by the time a dog or cat is found it’s collar has come off

Identichip– a permanent answer.

A tiny Microchip with a unique code can be safely injected under the skin of your pet.- they hardly feel it!

If your pet is lost and picked up, a special scanner can detect the identichip and read the code. These scanners are routinely used by rescue kennels, dog wardens, veterinary surgeons, USCPA, Cat Protection League, and Welfare societies, all over the country.

Once a micro chip is detected and read in a lost or stray pet, the Central Database, which is open 24 hours a day, is contacted and your details come up, allowing you to be contacted immediately.

All pets of any age, breed or species can be “identichipped”, from, dogs & cats to horses & budgerigars.

The Author of this Website, one of the veterinary surgeons at Greenmount Vet Clinic, would be lost without his pets, and has his 3 dogs and horse all identichipped.

For more advice, or to have your pet microchipped, please contact the surgery.
