Microchipping & Veterinary Documentation

Identification and paperwork, sorted

A lost pet with no identification may never find their way home, and a pet travelling abroad without the right paperwork can be turned back at the border. Both problems are preventable, and both are handled by our team.

We provide the veterinary side of identification and documentation — microchips, records and certificates — and we will be clear about which parts of a move or journey are our responsibility and which fall to you or to other authorities.

Documentation and identification services

• Microchipping and registration of your pet’s unique chip number
• Vaccination records and certificates
• Health certificates for travel or boarding
• Titre (antibody) testing where required
• Export-related veterinary documentation
• Other veterinary paperwork required by authorities or transporters

How microchipping works

An important distinction

Mecco provides veterinary documentation and clinical certification. We are not a travel agency or a pet-shipping service, and we cannot arrange flights, carriers or border clearance. If you are planning to move or travel with your pet, contact us early so we can confirm what tests, certificates and timing your destination requires.

Requirements differ by country and change from time to time, including vaccination validity windows and titre-test rules. Some destinations need months of preparation, so please start the conversation well before your travel date. We will tell you honestly what we can certify and what you must confirm with the authorities yourself.

Why microchip, and a realistic note on limits

A microchip is a permanent form of identification that no collar can match. If your pet is lost and scanned, the chip number links them back to you. It is also increasingly required for travel and boarding, and it cannot fall off or be removed the way a tag can.

A chip only works if your registered contact details are current. If your phone number or address changes, please tell us so we can update the record — an unregistered chip is of little help. Microchipping is quick and low-risk, but it is identification, not a GPS tracker: it tells us who a pet belongs to, not where they are. We would rather set that expectation clearly than let you rely on something it cannot do.
