Microchipping Benefits
Microchipping provides a permanent form of electronic identification to cats and dogs. With an implant the size of a grain of rice, the microchip contains a barcode with the contact details of the owner.
Pets that are microchipped are permanently identifiable across the country, so they can be returned safely to the owner in case they get lost. Owners should contact the microchip registry in case they change address.
Upcoming Microchipping Events
The council offers pet microchipping events as part of its commitment to implement the Queensland Government Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008.
In 2017, the council will be holding microchipping events from September to November at different locations in Brisbane.
Aside from the Paddington event, there will also be microchipping events at Nundah and Bracken Ridge in October. Ferny Grove and Tarragindi will be host the November microchipping events.
