Microchip Your Pet

What Is a Microchip?

A microchip is a tiny device — about the size of a grain of rice — that’s inserted just under your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. It contains a unique ID number that can be scanned by veterinary clinics, animal shelters, and rescue organizations.

This number is linked to your contact information in a secure database. If your pet is ever found, scanning the chip allows the finder to contact you directly.

Why Microchip Your Pet?

Collars and tags are helpful, but they can fall off or become unreadable. A microchip provides a lifelong backup form of ID that stays with your pet no matter what.

Benefits of microchipping include:

  • Peace of mind knowing your pet can be traced back to you
  • Nationwide recognition, readable by most scanners in the U.S.
  • Permanent identification that lasts a lifetime
  • Painless and quick procedure, similar to a routine vaccination

What to Expect During the Visit

Microchipping is a fast, low-stress procedure that can be done during any regular exam or visit. No anesthesia is required. After placement, we’ll help you register your pet’s chip so it’s linked to your current contact details — something you’ll want to keep updated over time.

If your pet was previously chipped and you’re unsure about registration, we can help verify the information and ensure everything is current.
