Chip N Check Pop-Up Microchip Clinic
The Chip N Check Pop Up series is complete for the time being.
To help reunite you and your best mate, Council is offering free microchipping to all dog owners of Isaac whose beloved pooches are currently registered with Council.
This program, part of the Paws-itive Blueprint for Responsible Dog Ownership, is run in partnership with Clermont Veterinary Surgery and Moranbah Veterinary Clinic.
If your dog isn’t registered yet, you can still take advantage of this special initiative by registering your dog with Council. To help you, Council is also offering free dog registration for the current registration period. Once registered, your dog is then eligible for free microchipping.

To be eligible for free dog microchipping:
- you must be a resident of the Isaac region
- your dog must be registered with Isaac Regional Council
Dogs that are not yet registered with Council can be registered for free for the current registration period as part of our Chip N Check Pop-Up Clinic initiative*.
