Mobile microchipping — coming soon
Calm, kind microchipping in your own home — no car journey, no waiting room.
A microchip is a tiny thing that does a big job. If your dog ever slips their lead, squeezes through a gap in the fence or goes missing on a walk, it's the chip that gets them home to you.
Soon, Mersea Mutts will offer mobile microchipping. I'll come to you, so your dog or puppy can be chipped calmly at home, with the same force-free approach I bring to every training session.
We're not taking bookings just yet, but you can register your interest now and be the first to know when we launch.
Microchipping and the law
In England, microchipping is a legal requirement (gov.uk):
Dogs must be chipped and registered by 8 weeks old.
Cats must be chipped and registered by 20 weeks old (since June 2024).
You must keep your details up to date, for example when you move or change your number.
Fines of up to £500 apply if your pet isn't chipped and registered.
Dogs still need a collar and tag with your name and address in public.
Why microchip with me?
I've been training dogs since 2016 and specialise in cooperative care — helping dogs feel safe during handling.
I come to you — no car journey or busy waiting room.
No rushing, no force — your dog gets time to settle first.
Ideal for litters — breeders can have every puppy chipped at home.
Frequently asked questions
When can I book? Very soon. Register your interest and I'll let you know as soon as bookings open.
How much will it cost? Prices will be announced at launch.
My dog is already chipped. Can you check it? Yes. I can scan your dog to check the chip is working and help you confirm your details are up to date.
What if my dog is nervous about handling? You're in exactly the right place. Being at home already helps, and we can plan a gentle approach together before the day.
