Microchipping

A microchip can be the saving grace for a lost pet. Microchips are tiny bar-coded devices which get inserted just under your pet’s skin. This chip connects to detailed information about your pet that is stored on a secured central computer network. The information may include the pet’s name, medical history, special dietary needs as well the owner’s identification and contact information. Additionally, chips may also contain tracking codes that help pinpoint the exact location of the lost pet. This type of technology-enabled device offers peace of mind for pet owners and greatly decreases the likelihood of runaway or stolen pets.

This unique form of identification is an easy yet permanent way to bring your pet home quickly should he/she become lost. The microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size and shape of a grain of rice. It is implanted beneath your pet's skin between the shoulder blades and stays there for his/her entire life. This procedure is as easy and as painless as a vaccination.

Each microchip has a unique number. This number, along with information about the owner and pet, are added to a national pet registry. Most veterinary hospitals and animal shelters have electronic scanners for detecting and reading these implanted microchips. If a lost pet is found and a microchip is scanned it is easy for the owner to be contacted.  We are happy to report that this technology has brought many families back together.
