Pet Microchipping for Cats & Dogs in Lahore
A permanent ID for your pet, done in seconds during a normal visit.
Quick answer: Dr Alee’s Pet Clinic in Lahore microchips cats and dogs in a few seconds during a normal appointment. The chip is about the size of a grain of rice, goes under the skin between the shoulder blades, and gives your pet a permanent ID number that a scanner can read if they are ever lost. It is also the first step for pet travel abroad.
Collars and tags can fall off, but a microchip stays with your pet for life. If a lost pet is taken to a clinic or shelter, staff scan it, read the unique number and use it to find the owner.
How microchipping works
- Quick check. Our vet examines your pet and scans first, in case a chip is already in place.
- Implanting the chip. The chip is placed under the skin with a sterile, single-use applicator, much like a routine injection. No anaesthetic is needed.
- Scan to confirm. We scan straight away to make sure the chip reads correctly.
- Your records. The chip number is added to your pet’s clinic records and vaccination card, and we give you the number so you can register your contact details.
Microchips and pet travel
Most countries that accept pets, including the UK and EU countries, ask for an international-standard (ISO) microchip, and it must be implanted before the rabies vaccine that counts for travel. If you might travel with your pet, chip first. See our pet travel assistance page for the full process.

Who it helps
Why Dr Alee’s Pet Clinic
A lost pet with a microchip can be identified by any clinic or shelter with a scanner. Our vets implant the chip quickly and gently, check it reads before you leave, and time it correctly if you plan to travel abroad, because a chip placed after the rabies vaccine can mean repeating the vaccine.

Frequently asked questions
Does microchipping hurt my pet?
It feels similar to a routine injection. Most cats and dogs react for a second or not at all, and no anaesthetic is needed.
At what age can a puppy or kitten be microchipped?
Puppies and kittens can usually be chipped from around 8 weeks old, often at the same visit as their vaccines. Adult and senior pets can be chipped at any age.
Is a microchip a GPS tracker?
No. A microchip has no battery and cannot show your pet’s location. It holds an ID number that is read when a scanner is passed over your pet.
Can my pet be microchipped for travel?
Yes. We use international-standard (ISO) microchips accepted for travel. The chip must go in before the rabies vaccine that counts for travel, so it is usually the first step.
How long does a microchip last?
A microchip is designed to last your pet’s lifetime and does not need replacing. We can scan it at any check-up to make sure it still reads.
Can you check if my pet already has a microchip?
Yes. Bring your pet in and we will scan them. This is useful for rescued or adopted pets.
