A microchip, also known as a radio frequency identification device (RFID), is the most effective form of permanent identification for pets. Microchips are approximately the size of a grain of rice. Pet microchipping is an extremely common and safe procedure, and is simply implanted through a needle between the shoulder blades.

Queensland law now requires all dogs and cats to have a microchip implanted by the time they are 12 weeks old.

Microchips are available to be implanted from 6 weeks of age.
