Companion Animals New Zealand (CANZ) fully supports the proposed Domestic Cat Microchipping Bill, which calls for the mandatory microchipping and registration of all owned cats in Aotearoa New Zealand.  

The New Zealand Companion Animal Register (NZCAR) has unveiled the most popular pet names for 2024, with "Luna" reigning as the top name for cats and dogs across Aotearoa for the sixth consecutive year.

Companion Animals New Zealand (CANZ) is excited to see a growing trend of local and district councils introducing bylaws requiring the desexing, microchipping, and registration of cats.

As the custodian of the largest companion animal register in the country, Companion Animals New Zealand (CANZ) is proud to celebrate National ‘Check The Chip’ Day on 15 August.
