If you are one of these owners then all you need to do is provide evidence that your animal has been microchipped in order to register your cat or dog.

Although microchipping provides an excellent form of identification, it is only the first step to registering your animal. Just as when dogs were only required to wear tags, registration means a lot more than just identification. When your animal is registered under the Companion Animals Act it is provided with all the protection and regulation that the NSW government and your local council provide.

The procedure is simple and similar to administering a vaccine. The microchip comes preloaded in a sterile applicator and is injected under the skin between the shoulder blades.

If the shelter scanned the animal, they should be able to tell you if it is microchipped. Some shelters implant microchips into every animal they adopt out, so check with the shelter and find out your new pet's microchip number so you can get it registered in your name. Most veterinary clinics have microchip scanners, and your veterinarian can scan your new pet for a microchip when you take your new pet for its veterinary checkup.

animal clone is an exact genetic copy of a donor animal. Clones are similar to identical twins, just born at a different time. Cloning can be thought of as an extension of the assisted reproductive technologies that livestock breeders have been using for centuries. These include artificial insemination, and more recently, embryo transfer, embryo splitting, and in vitro fertilization.

Cloning is an assisted reproductive technology that allows livestock breeders to create identical twins of their best animals. This breeding technique does not change the genetic makeup of the animal. The most common procedure used today is known as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), which makes it possible to produce many animals from a single donor. SCNT involves transferring the genetic information from one animal into an empty oocyte, or egg.

The microchips are safe to use and have been used safely and successfully in hundreds of thousands of animals of many sizes from very small animals to very big animals. The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and is implanted under the skin in a way similar to giving an injection. The microchip identifies the dog, and helps us to reunite your dog with you if you lose your dog and it is found.

Small dogs and cats (up to 15 lbs.) are allowed in a pet carrier. Certified service dogs are always welcome.
