Microchipping

Since 1 July 2006 it is compulsory to have your dog microchipped, with the exception of working dogs. This includes any dogs that have never been registered and dogs classified as menacing. Our Animal Control team can microchip your dog, or you can contact your local vet for information on their microchipping fees.

Microchip numbers are not given to Council by your vet, it is up to the owner to provide this detail to the Council.

If you require further information on microchipping, contact your local vet or Council.
