The Microchipping of Dogs (Scotland) Regulations 2016
These Regulations provide for the compulsory microchipping of dogs in Scotland and the recording of information about every dog and its keeper on a database. They set a technical standard for the type of microchip which must be used for the purposes of microchipping a dog under these Regulations. In addition, the Regulations also make wider provision about who may implant a microchip of any kind in a dog in Scotland.
