Microchip Pet Identification

Microchipping has become a very popular and safe way to permanently identify your pet and you as the owner in the unfortunate case that your pet is lost. Microchipping involves placement of a small electronic chip the size and shape of a piece of rice just under the skin in the neck area between the shoulder blades. A needle is used to inject the chip. The injection is comparable to a regular vaccine injection. It takes only few minutes to install it and it can be done during your next visit.

If your pet becomes lost and is transported to a humane society, animal control, SPCA or any animal hospital, A scanner similar to a scanner found in the grocery store is used to read the chip # and the microchip company will be contacted to get your information. This way many lucky pets can get returned to their owners quickly instead of having to wait in a pound until someone claims them. 

 

We advise you to use this system of identification as well as a collar identification system on your pet.
