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. A needle is used to inject the chip. The injection is comparable to a regular vaccine injection.

If your pet becomes lost and is transported to a humane society or the local animal services shelter, they will be able to scan your pet for the chip and contact you. The scanner is similar to a scanner found in the grocery store.

Microchipping is usually done during surgery such as a spay or neuter but it can be done at anytime as it is not invasive. If you are a client and are interested to have your pet microchipped, please call the clinic where a receptionist will book you an appointment with a veterinary technician. If your pet is spayed or neutered and you live within city limits, you will receive a free Lifetime City License!
