FAQ

Questions

What is the average cost of microchip in Ireland?

Nationally €31–€60 in 2026. Dublin is the most expensive city we track; Waterford the least.

Why do prices vary so much between cities?

Rent, staff wages, equipment and competition. Big-city specialty hospitals can charge double what a rural clinic does for the same procedure.

Does pet insurance cover microchip?

Usually not, unless you add a wellness/routine-care rider.
