Pet Microchipping in Rothwell
Lifelong identification with a pet microchip from Beehive Vets.
What is pet microchipping?
A pet microchip is a tiny, safe device implanted just beneath your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades.
It carries a unique identification number that links your pet to your contact details in a secure database.
This simple procedure provides permanent, tamper-proof identification for your pet — just in case they end up on the loose without their collar and tag.
Why choose to microchip your pets?
Pets are curious and can sometimes wander off or get lost. A microchip for pets helps ensure they can always be identified and reunited with you quickly and safely.
Whether you have a dog or cat, microchipping is one of the kindest and most responsible steps you can take.
Benefits of pet microchipping
- Permanent ID that stays with your pet for life
- Increases the chance of a safe, speedy reunion if your pet goes missing
- Required by law for dogs and now cats in the UK
- Quick and virtually painless procedure
- Peace of mind for you and your family
The legal requirements for microchipping in the UK
Microchipping laws have changed recently: it’s now a legal requirement to microchip dogs and, from June 2024, cats as well. This helps improve pet safety and ensures lost pets can be traced back to their owners efficiently. Dogs are required to be microchipped by 8 weeks of age, and cats by 20 weeks.
At Beehive Vets, we ensure your pet’s microchip is properly registered to keep you compliant with the law.

Microchipping your dog is quick and easy, providing a lifetime of identification. We implant the chip and register it with a government-approved database, making sure you’re covered whether your dog is a curious puppy or a seasoned adventurer.
Cat Microchipping
Cats need a permanent ID too. Even indoor cats can slip out unexpectedly, so a pet microchip offers vital protection. We handle cats gently to make the process stress-free for both you and your feline friend.
