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 $50.00.
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.
