Microchipping

Why Should I Microchip My Pet?

Every year, millions of pets go missing — and many never find their way home. Collars and tags help, but they can slip off, fade, or get lost. That’s where microchipping comes in. It’s a safe, permanent way to identify your pet and dramatically increase the chances of being reunited if they’re ever lost.

For families across New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater, and Port Orange, microchipping provides lasting peace of mind. The process takes just a few seconds, but the protection lasts a lifetime.

How Does a Microchip Work?

A microchip is a tiny device, about the size of a grain of rice, placed just under your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. Each chip carries a unique identification number linked to your contact details in a national database.

If your pet ever goes missing and is found by a veterinarian, shelter, or animal control, they’ll scan the chip, pull up your information, and contact you immediately. It’s quick, reliable, and effective — no batteries, no moving parts, and no maintenance required.

Does Microchipping Hurt My Pet?

Not at all. Implanting a microchip is similar to receiving a vaccine — fast and virtually painless. Anesthesia isn’t required, and most pets don’t even react. Once it’s in place, your pet won’t feel it or know it’s there.

What Happens After My Pet Is Microchipped?

After implantation, we’ll help you register your pet’s microchip in the national database, where your contact details will be securely stored. It’s important to keep your information up to date if your phone number, email, or address changes.

Microchipping is a small act of care that can make a big difference in an emergency. Even indoor pets benefit — unexpected escapes can happen to anyone.
