Important Information for Dog and Cat Owners – HomeSafeID Microchip Register
Pet microchip registry company HomeSafeID may soon close its website.
This means pet owners registered with HomeSafeID are at risk of losing access to their pet’s microchip records.
If your pet is registered with HomeSafeID, you are encouraged to change your microchip registration to another company.
It is important to keep your microchip details up to date so you can be reunited with your pet if they go missing or are found.
For more information about the situation and what you might need to do if you are impacted, please visit the Office of Local Government website here
