Is Your Pet Microchipped?

If you have ever lost your pet, you know that terrible feeling at the pit of your stomach that you may never see them again. Microchipping is the best way to make sure your pet makes its way back home. ​

​What is a Microchip?
A microchip is a permanent identification that is placed just under the skin of your pet.  If your pet gets lost and is taken to an animal shelter or veterinarian, they will scan the microchip to read a unique ID code.  Each ID code is tied to a database with their owner's name, address, and contact information so you can easily be contacted when the pet is found. The best part, it's affordable!
 
How is it implanted?
It may sound "high-tech," but placing a microchip is a simple procedure.  A veterinarian simply injects the microchip (which is about the size of a grain of rice) beneath the surface of your pet's skin between the shoulder blades.  The process only takes a few seconds and is similar to a routine shot.  Bonus: No anesthetic is required! 
 
Not sure where your pet's chip is registered?
Visit the AAHA Universal Pet Microchip Lookup Tool at petmicrochiplookup.org. To update your pet's registration, you'll need your pet's microchip number.
 
If you haven't already created an account with the manufacturer, you'll need to do that as well so you can access the registration in the future to update their information. Make sure all of the information, particularly your phone number(s) and address, is correct.
 
Can I track where my pet goes if they are microchipped?
No, the microchip is not a tracking device. Only your veterinarian or a location with a universal scanner can scan your pet's microchip. 
 
A microchip only works if its registration information is accurate!
