A Simple Step Toward Lifelong Identification
What Is a Microchip?
A microchip is a small device, about the size of a grain of rice, that is placed just beneath your pet’s skin. Each microchip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by veterinarians and animal shelters.
When the chip is registered, your pet’s ID number is linked to your contact information, allowing lost pets to be quickly identified.
Why Microchipping Is Important
Collars and tags can fall off or be removed, but a microchip provides permanent identification. Microchipping:
Increases the likelihood of reuniting lost pets with their owners
Provides identification even if collars are missing
Is recognized by shelters and veterinary clinics nationwide
Offers lifelong protection with minimal maintenance
Microchipping is especially valuable for pets that spend time outdoors or travel frequently.
What to Expect During the Procedure

- Does not require anesthesia
- Is similar to a standard injection
- Takes only a few moments
