Helping you
desex & microchip your animals.

We offer vouchers across Aotearoa New Zealand at different times of the year.

Desexing and microchipping are key ways to improve animal welfare in Aotearoa New Zealand.

It reduces the number of unwanted litters and lost animals, improves welfare for these animals, and positively impacts the environment. Microchipping is also a great way to help owners be reunited with their lost pets.

This website includes helpful resources for you to view and download, including some in different languages.

SNIP ‘N’ CHIP COMES TO GISBORNE!

We are excited to announce that we are launching a new Snip ‘n’ Chip campaign for cat owners in Gisborne, Wairoa, and other areas in the region.

From 1 March 2023 we are working with local participating veterinary clinics to offer this service to cat owners who need a helping hand with the cost of desexing and microchipping.

Making desexing services accessible to everyone is important to us, and now with $30 Snip ‘n’ Chip online vouchers, we aim to make the process of registering for these vital procedures even easier!

Bookings are now OPEN, so click "Book Now" to check if you’re eligible and register for your Snip ‘n’ Chip voucher.

If your cat is already desexed, you can use your voucher to have your cat microchipped and registered on the NZCAR database.

Snip ‘n’ Chip availability is dependent on vet clinic capacity, is limited to targeted postcodes and only available until vouchers sell out.

Thank you to our participating vet clinics for making this campaign possible.

Please note this campaign is for cats only, there is a limit of 10 vouchers per registration and vouchers are only available through the online voucher system on the Snip ‘n’ Chip website. If you know someone who is not able to access the internet, or needs help with the online system, you can register on their behalf.
