WE ARE NOW FULLY BOOKED FOR OUR ALLOCATION OF FREE MICROCHIPS. 

Goto http://www.ncm.ie/participants/ for a full list of participating practices.

Did you know September is ‘National Chipping Month’?  Dog owners can avail of free or reduced-price microchipping as part of a nationwide campaign and those with pets already chipped can check that all contact details are up to date and correctly registered free of charge.
To check your details are correct you can book an appointment with us on 090-6665555 and we can scan your pet and check your details free of charge.

Thousands of lost and stray dogs are destroyed in Irish pounds every year. A simple microchip, no bigger than a grain of rice, can effect a successful reunification without delay and implantation is painless.
One in three dogs in Ireland is currently ‘chipped’ but microchipping will be compulsory under the new Animal Health and Welfare Act by 2016.
National Chipping Month is being promoted by veterinary practices, animal welfare organisations, re-homing centres, local authority pounds, pet retail outlets and charities around the country with tens of thousands of offers of free or subsidized microchipping.

Those with chipped  pets are also urged to take the time to check their contact details such as their mobile numbers are correct on the microchipping database.

NATIONAL CHIPPING MONTH - SEPTEMBER 2014

SORRY FOR FREE MICROCHIPPING WE ARE NOW FULLY BOOKED !!!


NATIONAL CHIPPING MONTH - SEPTEMBER 2014


The benefits of having your pet microchipped have been well established and currently nearly one in every three dogs in Ireland has had a chip implanted under their skin.
The small transponder contains a world unique number and not, as many owners think, their contact details. In order for the microchip to be effective, these contact details along with the details of the microchip must be stored on a reputable database. Unfortunately, over one hundred thousand companion animals that have a microchip in them do not have a correct registration of the owner’s details on a database that will allow the animal be returned to them in the event of it getting lost.
The entire month of September 2014 will mark the National Microchipping Month in Ireland, which aims:
1. To increase the awareness of the benefit of microchipping pets and in so doing to increase the number of animals having a chip implanted; and
2. To inform the public of the requirement to ensure that the details they have stored on the database for their pet’s chip are current and correct.
SORRY FOR FREE MICROCHIPPING WE ARE NOW FULLY BOOKED !!!
