Pet microchipping is a straightforward, safe, and permanent method of electronic identification. The process involves the insertion of a tiny chip, no larger than a grain of rice, just beneath your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. This microchip carries a unique ID number that can be read by a scanner, matching your contact information in a secure online database. Remember to log into the database to update your contact information if you ever move or get a new phone number.
The microchipping procedure is as quick as a standard vaccine. Once implanted by our experienced team, the microchip stays in place and is waiting to be needed. If your pet wanders off and gets lost, a veterinarian, animal shelter, or pet rescue organization can scan the microchip. When scanned, the unique ID number appears. Your contact information can be pulled up through the associated database, and you can be reunited with your fur baby.
