The What’s and Why’s of Microchipping Your Pet

4/22/2014

​If you’ve ever lost your pet, you know that terrible feeling at the pit of your stomach that you’ll never see them again.  Pet parents find themselves running around plastering posters all over the neighborhood to no avail.  Micro chipping is the best way to make sure your pet makes their way back home. A microchip is a permanent identification that can be placed in your pets.  If your pet gets lost and is taken to an animal shelter or veterinarian, they will scan the microchip to read its unique dog or cat ID code.  And the best part, it’s affordable!

​It may sound “high-tech,” but dog and cat micro chipping 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!  Call your Veterinarian today to discuss getting a micro chip for your furry friend.
