What is a microchip for pets?
A pet microchip is a very small device implanted just beneath the skin, typically between the shoulder blades. It’s not a GPS tracker — instead it holds a unique ID number that links to your contact details. Unlike collars and tags, it can’t fall off or wear out.
The microchipping process
We insert the microchip just under your pet’s skin with a needle. The procedure takes only moments and requires no anesthesia, so it can be done during a regular wellness visit. Remember to keep your registered contact information current — a chip only works if the details are up to date.
Permanent ID to the rescue
If a lost pet is found, veterinarians, shelters, and rescues can scan the chip and use the ID number to reunite them with you. Microchipping is an important step to help your pet come home — even if they slip out without their collar.
