Microchips
Clinics/Hospitals
What Is A Microchip?
A microchip is a very small computer
implanted electronically. This number is
your pet’s unique ID; it corresponds to the
chip manufacturer’s database, where your
contact information is stored.
The microchip itself is placed in a small
glass capsule and inserted under your pet’s
skin. When a lost pet is returned to an animal
there can read the chip’s number. In this
fashion, a lost pet can quickly and easily be
returned to the rightful owner.
Why Get My Pet A Microchip?
Microchips are more secure than ID
tags—your pet can’t remove it, which means
you have peace of mind knowing that even
if an escape occurs, your pet remains
use ID tags and microchips in tandem for
Another advantage of getting your pet a
microchip is that you don’t have to buy a
new one every time you get a new phone
number or change addresses. All you have
to do is update your contact information with
the chip manufacturer; your pet keeps the
same microchip the whole time!
Can I Track My Pet?
No, microchips do not allow pet owners to
track their animal friends’ movements in real
time. This would require GPS technology to
accomplish, and it’s not currently included
in pet microchips. There are other devices
out there on the market, however, that serve
this purpose!
What’s the Procedure Like?
The microchipping procedure is quick
and painless. The capsule is inserted under
specialized syringe. All your pet feels is a
momentary pinching sensation before the
whole thing is over; it only takes a few short
moments! Ask your veterinarian for more
details on the microchipping procedure.
