Microchipping | Vet HQ

In this Geoffisode, Dr Geoff walks clients through the importance of keeping pet microchip details up to date. Too often, pets are found but can’t be reunited with their families because the registry details are missing or outdated.

Thanks to the NSW Pet Registry online portal, updating is easier than ever. Owners can log in, claim their pet using the microchip number, update addresses, and even add temporary contact details when travelling. At our Darlinghurst and Double Bay vet clinics, we can scan pets, add missing information, and update desexing status to keep records current.

Microchipping isn’t just a legal requirement; it’s a lifeline. By ensuring details are accurate, families can avoid the heartbreak of losing their pet to the pound.

Is your pet’s microchip up to date? Contact Vet HQ in Darlinghurst or Double Bay to book a scan and registry check today.

“Microchipping saves lives, but only if the details are up to date.” — Dr Geoff, Vet HQ Darlinghurst
