Microchipping and desexing

What are some of the benefits of microchipping?

• It's a permanent form of identification for your pet.
• Microchips can not be removed or fall off like a traditional collar and tag.
• An inexpensive, one-time procedure can help protect your pet for life.
• It can help reunite you with your pet from anywhere in Australia, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Tip: Make sure all tags and collars are labelled with contact details in case your pet is found by a neighbour. 

Microchip providers are available throughout Victoria and Australia. We recommend that you visit your local vet or search online for providers in your area. 

If your pet needs a new microchip, you’ll also need to update their information. 

To make changes to your pet’s microchip details, you’ll need to:  

• visit the nationwide Pet Address website 
• contact Council to notify us.

Eligible residents can receive a discount on their pet desexing fee through Council's desexing voucher scheme. 

To receive the voucher you must: 

• have an applicable Pension/Health Care/War Veterans card
• live in Frankston City
• register your pet with Council once it is desexed
• make sure your vet operates within Frankston City (vets outside the area will need to be approved by Council). 

We recommend that you contact your local vet to find out if they participate. If you have questions about the scheme, please call 1300 322 322 or email info@frankston.vic.gov.au to talk to Council's Safer Communities.
