Microchipping

According to Queensland Microchip laws, all cats and dogs between 8 and 12 weeks of age must be implanted with a microchip. Microchip is important because it is like a social security number for humans. Responsibility for microchipping is with the person selling or giving away the animal. The sale, implanting and tracking of microchips is regulated in Queensland. The veterinarian will inject a microchip needle under the skin. This will permanently stay under the skin.
