Microchipping and Registration

Did you know that microchipping, registration and an identity tag are requirements for both dog and cat owners under the Companion Animals Act?

Microchip Implants are available from the Animal Shelter during open hours and by appointment outside of open hours. Dogs and Cats over the age of 12 weeks must be protected by permanent identification (microchip implant). Cost of microchipping through the Animal Shelter is $45.00.

A dog or cat may not be sold or given away unless it is first micro chipped and details of the new owner placed onto the NSW Companion Animals Register.
