Microchipping

Does your pet have a microchip?

Each year, millions of pets go missing and many don't make it back home. Microchipping your pet is a simple, effective way to prevent this sort of tragic loss. About the size and shape of a grain of rice, identification microchips are encoded with your pet's vital information and then implanted beneath your pet's skin, usually between the shoulder blades. Animal hospitals and shelters across the country are equipped with special scanners capable of reading these microchips. If your pet is lost, the microchip can be scanned and the information retrieved to assist in reuniting you and your pet.
