How Pet Microchipping Works
Having your pet microchipped is a simple and safe procedure. A tiny chip roughly the size of a grain of rice is gently injected under your pet’s skin between their shoulder blades. This chip contains a unique identification number, which you will register in a national pet microchipping database alongside your contact information.
If your pet becomes lost or wanders away from home, shelter, veterinary hospitals, or rescue organizations, use special handheld scanners to scan your pet’s chip and reveal their unique ID number. Rescue personnel can then use this number to obtain your contact information, providing you and your pet with a swift, happy reunion.
It’s important to note that keeping your contact information up to date in the pet microchipping database is essential. If you move or change your phone number, you must update your information to ensure your pet can always be traced back to you.
