Do I need to microchip my cat to qualify for insurance?

Cat Insurance

Microchip is a form of identification that provides every pet with a unique ID number. 

A microchip is a safe, reliable and permanent identification for your pet. If you ever lose your pet, this increases the chances of you finding him/her back!

Microchip is not a requirement for pet cats. This only applies to pet dog. Instead, cat owners will have to submit their cat's vaccine card for proof of ownership. See FAQ on vet medical ID or vaccine cards here.
