Microchipping FAQ’s

Unfortunately, many pets go missing every year, and without proper identification, it can be very difficult to reunite them with their owners. Collars and tags can fall off or be removed, but a microchip provides a permanent form of identification that can’t be lost or tampered with. Microchipping is a safe and effective way to give you peace of mind and increase the chances of being reunited with your pet if they ever go missing.

Microchipping is a quick and painless procedure that can be done during a regular veterinary visit. The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice, and it is injected under the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades. The procedure takes just a few seconds, and your pet won’t feel anything more than a quick pinch.

After your pet is microchipped, you’ll need to register their information with the microchip company. This will ensure that your contact information is linked to your pet’s unique identification number. If your pet ever goes missing, a veterinarian or animal shelter can scan the chip and access your contact information to help reunite you with your pet.
