Since 06 April 2016, it is a legal requirement for all dogs to be microchipped in England and this will likely soon be expanded to include all cats.
We strongly advise all pets be microchipped, even those that are kept indoors. If your pet gets lost or sadly taken without a microchip, it is very unlikely they will be found and returned to you safely.
The microchips are about the size of a long grain of rice and are inserted under the skin at the back of your pets scruff. Each microchip has a unique 15 digit number which once registered is kept on a secure national database. If your pet is found and scanned this number can be traced to you and so your beloved pet can be returned.

Dental Care
Dental Care
Dental health is often an overlooked issue in dog and cats. It is estimated that 85% of dogs and cats over the age of three years of age will have some degree of dental disease. Here at The Guildford Vet, we believe helping owners understand the impact dental health can have on your pet’s overall health is important. We can where necessary perform dental scale and polish procedures in house, and carry out any necessary tooth extractions to help restore your pet’s dental health.
