FREE microchipping for your pet
Ipswich Council is offering FREE microchipping for your pet.
Making it easier than ever to ensure your furry friends can be identified and returned to you if they ever go missing. You may think this is an expensive undertaking but the council is making it easier for you. Microchipping is a quick, simple, and safe procedure that provides lifelong peace of mind for pet owners.
This initiative is part of the Council’s ongoing commitment to responsible pet ownership and community safety. Microchips store a unique ID number that’s linked to your contact details in a secure national database, helping animal shelters, vets, and councils reunite lost pets with their families.
