Microchipping pets means putting in a tiny RFID (radio-frequency identification) chip under the skin of dogs, cats, and other animals to help identify your pet and reunite them with you if they get lost or separated.
The chip is about the size of a grain of rice and is put in under the pet's skin, usually on the back between the shoulder blades, using a special needle that works like a vaccine shot. The chip stays under the skin near where it was put in.
The microchipping process is quick and easy. A pre-loaded chip is injected under your pet's skin using a specially designed needle. You may notice a small bump for the first few days after putting in the chip. Getting your pet chipped during a regular checkup adds a little extra time. We'll make sure the chip can be read with a scanner and register your contact info into the microchip database.
Microchips help identify your pet if they get lost or separated. Shelters and vets across the country can scan chips 24/7 to contact you and bring your pet back home. Without a microchip, escaped pets risk never being returned to their families. Microchips last for your pet's lifetime, and you can update your contact info if it changes. Adding your cell phone to the database makes it easier to reach you. Overall, microchipping provides permanent protection and identification for your pet.
