Microchip identification helps return around 8,000 lost cats, dogs, and other animals to their homes every day. The pet ID chip can be scanned by any vet and tracked back to its owner.
Why Should I Microchip my Pet?
Microchipping is the most reliable way to find lost pets and return them home to their owners. The procedure is safe, easy, and inexpensive.
When Should I Microchip my Pet?
Some owners feel that their pet doesn’t need identification because they stayed indoors, but in our experience, these are the most likely to become lost when they accidentally get outside. Every pet should have microchip identification. Dogs can be microchipped at any age. However, many vets recommend doing it at the same time as the first vaccination.
How Does Pet Microchipping Work?
A microchip is a tiny device, roughly the size of a grain of rice, that contains a unique identification number. When a lost pet is found and taken to a vet or an animal shelter, a special scanner reads this number, which is then checked against a database. This helps reunite the pet with its owner. It’s a simple yet highly effective way of ensuring your pet’s safety.
