How Microchipping Works—and Why It Matters

Microchipping takes just a few seconds but can make a lifetime of difference. It’s a simple procedure that doesn’t require anesthesia and can even be done during a routine wellness visit. Once the chip is registered, your contact information is stored in a national database that can be accessed by animal shelters, veterinary clinics, and rescue organizations.

Our Microchipping Service Includes:

• Quick, safe procedure – The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and is inserted under the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades using a small needle.

• No anesthesia required – The process is similar to a routine vaccine and causes minimal discomfort.

• Permanent identification – The microchip contains a unique ID number that links to your contact information in a secure registry.

• Nationwide recovery network – Most shelters and veterinary hospitals across the U.S. are equipped with scanners to detect microchips and look up your information.

• Easy registration process – We’ll help you get your pet’s chip registered correctly so it works when you need it most.

• Peace of mind – If your pet ever gets lost, microchipping significantly increases the chances of being reunited quickly and safely.
