Four companies are authorised by the Department to register owner details of dog microchips under the Microchipping of Dogs Regulations 2015. According to figures provided by these databases, 124,408 dog microchips were registered during 2020. This represents a 24% increase on the total number of dog microchip registrations in 2019.
