What Is Microchipping?

A microchip helps pet owners to reunite with their pets.

Microchipping is a straightforward yet highly effective method for pet identification that dramatically increases the chances of reuniting lost pets with their families. A microchip is a small electronic device the size of a grain of rice that is injected under the skin of your pet. Typically, the chip is placed between the shoulder blades, a location where it will remain securely throughout your pet’s life. The chip contains a unique identification number that is linked to a database containing your contact information. As long as you keep your contact information up to date, this can be used to reunite you with your pet if they ever get lost.

How Does Microchipping Work?

Find your pet quickly and safely.

A pet microchip is not like a GPS tracking device; it does not actively broadcast your pet’s location. Instead, it serves as a permanent form of ID that is always with your pet. When a stray pet is found, an animal shelter, animal control worker, or veterinarian will scan them for a microchip. The scanning process is painless and takes mere seconds. If the pet has a chip, the person scanning them will be able to access your contact information and reach out to you. This helps get your pet back to you quickly and safely.

OUR PET Microchip Services

The process takes just a few minutes.

Our veterinary team performs microchipping for companion animals and highly recommends this procedure for most patients. The entire process takes just a few minutes and can be performed during a routine exam or surgery. Since the chip is injected using a syringe, there is no need for stitches or specific aftercare. Your pet can immediately resume their normal activities when they leave our animal care clinic. In just minutes, you can gift lifelong identification and protection to your precious pet.

Please make sure to register your pet’s information in the microchip database as soon as you get home. If you move or change phone numbers, you will want to log back in to update your contact information. This step is very important, as a microchip is only as effective as the information it contains. If your contact details are not updated, the chances of reuniting with your pet can be significantly reduced. If you have any questions about registering your pet's microchip, we would be happy to help!
