The NZ Companion Animal Register is for ALL species of companion animal (pet).
In 2023, after a number of horses were displaced by Cyclone Gabrielle, Companion Animals New Zealand sponsored EQuiChip - an event to encourage horses owners to microchip and register their horses.
There are a number of reasons for improving the identification and traceability of New Zealand’s equine population, and apart from the MPI’s interest in national equine disease surveillance, and the various national breed and performance societies’ need for accurate identification records, most horse owners’ interest is in improving their ability to find their animals during an emergency such as following an extreme weather event, or if they are lost or stolen.
Ask your vet about microchipping and NZCAR registration during your next vet call out. NZCAR registrations can be done, horse-side, very quickly.
If your horse is already microchipped - you can register for a low, one-off, lifetime fee at www.animalregister.co.nz
