 We all love our pets, but are you taking the most critical step to ensure they stay safe? In this episode, we tackle one of the most important—yet often overlooked—responsibilities of pet ownership: microchipping and registration.

Joining us is resident vet Dr. Andrew Cornwell from Cardiff and Cameron Park Veterinary Hospitals to break down why having a microchip isn't enough if your details aren't up to date. From the legal requirements in Australia to the heart-wrenching reality of lost pets that can't be identified, Dr. Cornwell explains how the system works, where most owners go wrong, and why linking your pet to an official database is the ultimate safety net. If you’ve moved house, changed your phone number, or just want to ensure your pet is fully protected, this is the episode for you.


The Failure Point: Why outdated contact details are the #1 reason lost pets don't make it home.


The Legal Side: What the law requires and the risks of skipping these steps.


Ownership Proof: How microchips act as the final word in pet theft or disputes.


Expert Advice: Dr. Cornwell’s tips for keeping your pet’s records "reunion-ready."
