Microchip

Microchips have reunited thousands of pets with their families. A microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size and shape of a grain of rice. It is implanted beneath a pet's skin between the shoulder blades, and remains there for the pet's entire life. This procedure is easy and is no more painful then a vaccination. Each microchip has a unique number. This number, along with information about the owner and pet, are added to a national pet registry. Most veterinary hospitals and animal shelters have electronic scanners for detecting and reading these implanted microchips. If a lost pet is found and a microchip is scanned, the registry is called and the owner can be contacted. We offer HomeAgain microchipping to increase the chances of a safe recovery.
