What is Pet Microchipping?
Pet microchipping is a simple and effective way to ensure that your pet can be identified if they ever become lost or separated from you. A microchip about the size of a grain of rice is implanted under your pet’s skin between their shoulder blades. Each microchip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by a veterinarian or animal shelter using a handheld scanner.
The Benefits of Pet Microchipping
- Permanent Identification: Unlike collars and tags, which can fall off or become lost, a microchip provides permanent identification for your pet.
- Quick and Easy Reunions: If your pet becomes lost, shelters and veterinary clinics can scan them for a microchip and contact you quickly, facilitating a swift reunion.
- Peace of Mind: Microchipping offers the peace of mind that your pet has a reliable form of identification and increases the likelihood of them being identified and returned to you in the event of a separation.
When to Consider Microchipping Your Pet
Microchipping is a simple and relatively painless procedure that can be performed during a routine veterinary visit. We recommend microchipping for all pets, but it’s especially important for:
- Outdoor Pets: If your pet spends time outdoors or has a tendency to wander, microchipping provides an added layer of protection.
- Traveling Pets: If you travel frequently with your pet or plan to move to a new area, microchipping ensures that they can be identified and reunited with you, no matter where they may end up.
- Newly Adopted Pets: If you’ve recently adopted a pet from a shelter or rescue organization, microchipping is an essential step in ensuring their safety and security.
