Why microchip your pet?

Microchipping is an essential part of responsible animal ownership. A microchip provides a simple solution to return your pet to you if your pet goes missing and protects your animal from theft.
Microchipping your animal will reduce your pet’s annual registration fees.
Getting your animal microchipped can reduce your upcoming annual animal registration renewal fees by about $20 each year. Getting your animal desexed and microchipped can reduce your animal’s annual registration fees by up to $80 per year.
Microchipping your animal is mandatory in Queensland. The Queensland Government requires all animals born after April 2009 to be microchipped and their microchipping details provided to Council.
