Microchipping

Permanent Identification That Lasts a Lifetime

If your pet ever slips out the door or gets separated during a storm, a microchip could be the key to bringing them home safely. Collars and tags are useful, but they can be lost or damaged. A microchip offers permanent identification that can’t be removed or altered.

Our veterinary team provides safe and professional microchipping services for pets across DeLand and surrounding Volusia County. It’s one of the most reliable, affordable, and compassionate things you can do for your pet.

How Does a Microchip Work?

A microchip is a tiny electronic chip, roughly the size of a grain of rice, that’s inserted just beneath your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. Each chip carries a unique identification number tied to your contact information in a secure national registry.

When a lost pet is scanned at a veterinary office or animal shelter, the ID number displays instantly — connecting your pet back to you within minutes. It’s simple technology that saves lives every single day.

Does It Hurt or Require Anesthesia?

Not at all. The process is quick, easy, and feels much like a routine vaccination. No sedation is needed, and the chip remains in place for life. Most pets return to their normal activities right away, and the microchip doesn’t cause any discomfort.

What Happens Afterward?

Once your pet is microchipped, it’s essential to register your contact information in the national database. Keeping your details updated ensures that you can be contacted immediately if your pet is ever found.

Even indoor pets can benefit — unexpected escapes happen more often than most owners realize. A microchip gives you peace of mind knowing your companion has permanent identification that works anywhere in the country.
