Microchipping

Even with the best precautions, pets can sometimes get lost or wander away. Microchipping is a quick and reliable way to ensure permanent identification for your companion.

Why should I microchip my pet?

A microchip provides a secure and permanent form of identification, significantly increasing the chances of reuniting with your pet if they go missing. Unlike collars and tags, a microchip cannot be removed or lost. However, it’s essential to keep your contact information updated in the registry.

How does the procedure work?

Microchipping involves inserting a tiny chip, about the size of a grain of rice, under your pet’s skin—typically between the shoulder blades. The procedure is quick, taking only a few minutes, and does not require anesthesia.

Is microchipping painful for my pet?

No, the procedure is similar to a routine injection. Your pet may feel slight discomfort for a few seconds, but the process is safe and minimally invasive.
