It is compulsory for all dogs and cats in South Australia to be microchipped by 12 weeks of age, unless exempt by a vet. Microchipped animals carry with them a permanent identification and can be reunited with their owners much sooner.
Please note that it is the pet owner's responsibility to ensure their details are kept up to date on DACO. Please be aware that microchipped dogs are still required to wear a current registration disc.
