Compulsory microchipping for dogs in Brisbane
As of the 1st of July 2009 Brisbane City Council has put some new measures in place in relation to dog ownership.
Along with the changes for cats having to be registered, it is now mandatory for dogs to be microchipped when sold or given away (responsibility of the person selling/giving the animal away). For new puppies microchipping is required before reaching the age of 12 weeks. It will also be compulsory for all animals that are desexed to have a small tattoo put on the inside of their ear.
Please ensure when purchasing or receiving a puppy within the Brisbane area the breeder or shelter has complied with the new rules.
