Get your pet microchipped and registered on the New Zealand Companion Animal Register (NZCAR)Hundreds of cats and dogs ran in fright after the February 6.3 earthquake. Many have returned home but some are still missing, separated from their owners.
Microchipping Facts:
- Over 80 per cent of animals that are microchipped are successfully reunited with their owners
- Microchipping does not hurt nor harm your pet’s health
- The microchip is approximately the size of a grain of rice

- Vet clinics and SPCAs have access to the New Zealand Companion Animal Register
- If your animal is lost and taken into a vet clinic or SPCA, it can be reunited with you within just minutes or hours of it being found
