Microchipping and Prenatal Ultrasounds
Losing your pet can be a very upsetting experience. Microchipping your pet can be the most effective way of getting your pet back if they are found away from home.
There are a lot of stories about pets being found days, weeks, months, even years after being lost and they have been able to be returned to their loving owners because they had been microchipped!
Yet, it's so sad to think that around 70% of pets that are found don't have microchips and can't be easily returned to their owners.
Did you also know that in South Australia it's actually law to have your cats and dogs microchipped...
We offer an affordable mobile, come to you, service that gets your pet(s) microchipped and makes them easier to be found and get them returned to you as well as makes them compliant with the law.
No more need to take time off work or have you and your pet stressed by having to visit a clinic, our service is done in the comfort of your own home, at a time that suits you around your lifestyle needs.
If your female pet has returned from an unexpected trip away from home and is looking a little rounder, or you are a breeder or rescue that is unsure if a mating has taken place, we also offer an at home pregnancy ultrasound service where we can determine if your little girl is expecting, and all at an affordable price in the stress-free environment of your own home.
For your peace of mind, our technician is fully qualified, authorised and insured.
What we offer
Microchipping
Service available to pet owners, breeders and rescues at an affordable price of $25 per pet plus a once off small travel charge depending on your location.
Pets can be microchip implanted from 6 weeks of age (depending on size), but ideally around 8 weeks is better.
Pets that have been microchipped are entered onto the SA only database Dogs and Cats Online (DACO) inline with SA laws. You are also free to register your pets microchip number with any other register you like. Central Animal Records (CAR) and Australasian Animal Records (AAR) are popular, they are national registries but may incur a charge to use.
Mostly we service the Murraylands and Adelaide Hills areas but can travel to areas across SA by request.
Pregnancy Ultrasounds
Service available to pet owners, breeders and rescues at an affordable price of $45 per ultrasound plus a once off small travel charge depending on your location.
Pregnancies can be detected as early as a few weeks, however ideally 30 days or more post breeding is ideal for the ultrasound to start to be able to pick up skeletal structures and heart beats.
To be able to see the ultrasound clearly, a darker indoor room will be required. Your pets fur may need to clipped around the tummy area on the day, while we aren't expert clippers, we do try to keep the area small and neat (hardly noticeable when your pet stands up). We will show you and explain what is being seen on the ultrasound during the procedure and we can take photos of the ultrasound for you to keep.
Mostly we service the Murraylands and Adelaide Hills areas but can travel to areas across SA by request.

We are based just outside of Murray Bridge and whilst we mostly work in the Murraylands and Adelaide Hills areas, we can arrange for trips to cover all areas across SA. Depending on how far away you are from our location, we will try to schedule a few appointments in the area to keep travel costs down, or if a long way from our location we will try to organise mutliple other appointments specifically for your area.
Ultrasounds are currently at the introductory rate of $45 each, plus a minimal travel charge depending on your location. Please message to find out the total cost if you are interested in going ahead with a booking.
It's a needle implant so there may be some discomfort for your pet, however, it's a very quick procedure and the majority of pets don't even realise it's been done, and they are back to having cuddles and playing before they know it.
The microchip implanting procedure itself literally takes a few seconds to do, there is a bit of set up before and after the procedure so we allow about 15mins for one pet and about 5 minutes for each pet after that.
We allow between 1/2 hour to 3/4 hour for pet ultrasounds.
Once we have received your form we text or email you to confirm your appointment, as well as ask for any further information we require. We will also send you a reminder a day or two before the appointment, then all you need to do on the day is have your pet inside (or in a confined area) to make it easy to catch them when the technician arrives. For smaller animals, having a table and chair available to use for the procedure would also be helpful.
