Fitting a microchip. You can have a microchip fitted at any time but it must be done before your pet is vaccinated against rabies and blood tested.

You can now arrange to have your pet vaccinated against rabies.

Your vet should record the microchip number on your pet's vaccination record at the time of vaccination. The microchip number and date of microchipping will be recorded in the EU Pet Passport.

If your pet was vaccinated against rabies before it was microchipped, it will need to be vaccinated again.
