Dog and cat microchipping is a simple procedure. A veterinarian injects a microchip beneath the surface of your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. The process is similar to a routine injection and takes only a few seconds. No anesthetic is required.
A microchip is a permanent pet ID andis read by passing a microchip scanner over the pet’s shoulder blades. The scanner emits a low radio frequency that provides the power necessary to transmit the microchip’s unique ID code to positively identify the pet.
If your pet gets lost and is taken to an animal shelter or veterinarian, they will scan the microchip to read its unique dog or cat ID code. This is the number used to identify the pet and retrieve your contact information, which is used to contact you and reunite you with your pet. Always keep thisinformation up to date.
We will also register your pet’s microchip for you!
