Microchipping is one of the most reliable ways to ensure your pet can be identified and returned to you if they ever become lost. A microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size of a grain of rice, that is safely implanted beneath your pet’s skin.
Each microchip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by veterinarians, animal shelters, and animal control organizations. Once the chip is scanned, your contact information can be retrieved from a secure database, making it easier to reunite lost pets with their owners.
The procedure is quick, safe, and minimally invasive, similar to a routine vaccination injection. Microchips remain functional for your pet’s entire lifetime and cannot be lost or removed like collars or tags.
