Events

The National Pet Register is actively involved in community events; each month providing discounted microchipping and free pet identification tags. We strongly recommend that your pet has two forms of identification, a National Pet Register ID tag and a microchip.

A microchip is the only way to permanently identify your pet. An ID tag provides a second form of identification that is worn around your pet's collar.

Take your pet along to these events to have him or her microchipped and registered with the National Pet Register. Every pet microchipped by the National Pet Register will receive a identification tag.

Please note that there is a fee charged for microchipping however, the National Pet Register will provide the first identification tag free.

Microchipping and life-time registration with the National Pet Register is not the same as council registration. In some states animals must be microchipped before they are registered with the council. In other states microchipping is not compulsory but council registration is. Please contact your local council for more information.
