Microchipping Pet Identification

Sadly, thousands of pets are lost or stolen every year and more than 70% of those never come home. 33% of pets will get lost at least once in their lifetime. A tiny microchip may be the difference between lost and found.

A microchip is a tiny computer chip with a programmed identification number. It is injected by a veterinarian into your pet, under the loose skin over shoulder blades. The procedure is simple and no more painful than a vaccination. The chip remains inert until a special scanner is passed over it to read the identification number. The chip identification numbers are filed with a national registry that is accessible 24 hours per day and 365 days a year. All humane societies, animal shelters and veterinary hospitals are equipped with scanners. Through this system lost pets can be quickly reunited with their families. Microchipping is the only way to provide a permanent, non-alterable or easily removable means of identification that cannot be lost or fade with time.
