Permanent Identification for Lifelong Safety

Microchipping provides a simple, permanent way to help keep pets connected to the people who love them. While collars and ID tags are important, they can break or be removed. A microchip stays with your pet for life, offering an added layer of protection if they ever become lost.

How Microchipping Works

A microchip is a tiny device, about the size of a grain of rice, that is placed just beneath your pet’s skin. Each chip carries a unique identification number that can be read with a scanner used by veterinary clinics and animal shelters. When scanned, the number links to your contact information in a secure registry, helping reunite pets with their families.

A Quick and Safe Procedure

Microchipping is a fast, minimally invasive procedure that can be performed during a routine visit or alongside other veterinary services. Most pets tolerate the process very well, and no ongoing maintenance is required once the chip is placed.

Keeping Information Up to Date

For a microchip to be effective, registration and accurate contact information are essential. Veterinary teams can provide guidance on registering your pet’s microchip and updating details if your phone number or address changes over time.

Added Peace of Mind

Microchipping does not replace collars or leashes, but it offers reassurance that your pet has permanent identification if the unexpected happens. It’s a small step that can make a meaningful difference in bringing pets home safely.
