What's involved
A microchip is a tiny implant, about the size of a grain of rice, placed under the skin between the shoulder blades. A scanner reads its number so a lost pet can be matched to you.
In England, dogs and cats must be microchipped by law, and you must keep your details up to date on the database. Some practices include a microchip in a puppy or kitten starter pack.
Each price is taken from the practice's own website or price list. Prices change, so the practice's own quote is the one that counts.
