Microchipping

microchipping

Each year, millions of pets go missing and many are never found again. A microchip can help ensure that your pet will be found more quickly should he or she go missing. A microchip is a tiny device about the size and shape of a grain of rice. It is implanted beneath the pet's skin between the shoulder blades and stays there for the pet's entire life. This procedure is as easy and painless as a vaccination.

Each microchip has a unique number. This number, along with information about the owner and pet, are added to a national pet registry. Most veterinarians and animal shelters have devices for detecting and reading these implanted microchips. If a lost pet is found and the microchip is scanned, the registry is called and the owner of the pet is contacted. We use the Home Again microchip system.
