Desexing and microchipping

Desexing

Desexed animals are less likely to wander, spray to mark territory, and be aggressive.

Pets from 8 weeks of age can be desexed by a vet, and most fully recover within 24 hours.

Any changes to the information provided on the registration application must be advised online or in writing to Monash Council Animal Management: PO Box 1, Glen Waverly VIC 3150or email: mail@monash.vic.gov.au

Microchipping

Cats and dogs must be registered and microchipped by 3 months of age.

Microchipping is mandatory, and satisfactory proof (a certificate signed and dated by a registered vet or by a licensed agent certified to undertake microchipping) is required.

The National Pet Register is Australia's largest non-profit pet identification service, and is run by The Lost Dogs' Home.

The National Pet Register reunites more than 23,000 lost pets with their owners every year. Make sure your pet is microchipped by a National Pet Register agent.
