We are offering FREE microchips with every booster vaccination administered in our 3 clinics - the Small Animal Hospital in Ballyclare, Abbey Vet Centre and Cavehill Vet Clinic.  This offer runs until the 31st March 2011 and is a great opportunity to get your pet microchipped for free before the laegislation changes making it compulsory to have your pet microchipped.

Microchipping is a simple procedure that injects a small chip carrying a unique 12 digit number under the skin of your pet.

The chip is about the size of a grain of rice and once inserted is permanent, when read with a scanner this unique ID is used to identify your pet. This ID will be registered to a national database. In the event of your animal being found by vets or dog wardens, we can then contact you and reunite you with your pet.

All vets and dog wardens carry scanners, ensuring that all microchipped, straying pets get returned to their owners.
