What is Pet Microchipping?

Pet microchipping involves implanting a small, rice-sized chip under your pet’s skin. This chip contains a unique identification number registered in a national pet recovery database linked to your contact information. When a lost pet is found, veterinarians and animal shelters can scan the microchip to retrieve the owner’s information and facilitate a speedy reunion.

When is Microchipping Necessary?

 

Microchipping is recommended for all pets, regardless of breed or size. However, it is essential for pets that:

Spend time outdoors unsupervised

 

Are prone to escaping or wandering
