Microchip Pet Registry company, HomeSafeID, will soon cease to operate online.

This means if you know your pet is registered with HomeSafeID, you will need to change your microchip registration to another company.

If your pet's registration isn't updated, should they go missing or are found, vets/councils/animal shelters will no longer be able to view your pet’s ownership details listed on their microchip when it is scanned, making it difficult to reunite you!

To find out where your pets microchip details are registered, you can go to www.petaddress.com.au

If you don’t know your pet’s microchip number or have lost their paperwork with their registration details, we can scan your pet and provide their microchip number.

You can go online to register to one of these databases. A small fee may apply with some databases.

❄️ Caring for senior pets in Winter ❄️

🐾 The colder months are fast approaching. We may have already pulled out the dressing gown and fluffy slippers! This means our furry friends will feel the drop in temperature also. For our senior pets the cold air can aggravate joints and increase arthritis symptoms.

🐾 Keep a healthy exercise routine. Even a small walk each day will encourage circulation and strengthen muscle tone.

🐾 Invest in a warm jacket! Short haired breeds and senior pets will benefit from an additional layer of warmth with a jacket on those chilly morning walks!

🐾 If you notice in the coming months your pet is showing signs of discomfort such as stiffness, reluctance to walk, getting up and down stairs, or licking at certain joints, it’s best to visit your local vet for a check up.
