Life Time Protection for your Dog.

New law protects pets and people

In NSW, around 80,000 dogs and cats are lost, hurt or stolen each year. Most are impounded and are not able to be identified. Because they cannot be reunited with their owners, they may be destroyed. The Companion Animals Act was introduced by the NSW Government in 1998 to protect pets, their owners and the broader community.

It's a two step process

Under the Act, all owners of puppies and kittens must taketwo stepsto provide lifetime protection for their pet. These 'two steps' will help return your pet to you if it is lost, hurt or stolen.
Once microchipped and registered, your pet is protected for life.
