Microchipping

Service Description

Microchipping your pet not only provides a permanent way of identification, it also allows for your pet to be returned to you in the case that they should go missing. The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice, contains a sequence of numbers unique to that individual chip. The chip is then implanted beneath the skin in between the shoulder blades. That number sequence is then uploaded into a national database with your information, so in the event that your pet does get found, they can scan the number, enter it into the database, and contact you. A common misconception is that the chip acts like a GPS. Unfortunately, you cannot track your pet in real time (they do have collar attachments available for that), but nearly every veterinarian and animal organization has a scanner and access to the national database at their facilities.
