What Is Pet Microchipping?
Pet microchipping is a safe, reliable way to ensure your pet has a permanent form of identification. Unlike collars or tags, which can easily get lost or removed, a microchip is a small device—about the size of a grain of rice—that is implanted just beneath your pet’s skin. Once registered, this microchip serves as a unique identifier for your pet, offering a secure way to help them find their way home should they ever become lost.
How Pet Microchipping Works
The microchip, made of biocompatible material, is placed under the skin, typically between your pet’s shoulder blades, through a simple injection. Each chip has a unique ID number that, when scanned by a shelter, veterinary clinic, or rescue organization, can be traced back to your contact information. This straightforward procedure is quick and minimally invasive, making it a safe option for most pets.
Key Benefits of Pet Microchipping:
Permanent Identification
Unlike collars or tags, a microchip is a lifetime form of ID that stays with your pet.
Increased Chances of Reunification
Pets with microchips are much more likely to be reunited with their families if they get lost.
Universally Recognized
Most veterinary clinics, shelters, and animal control agencies have scanners compatible with pet microchips.
No Maintenance Required
Once implanted, the microchip doesn’t need charging or upkeep, making it an easy, one-time solution.
When to Consider Pet Microchipping
The best time to microchip your pet is as soon as possible. Many pet owners choose to have their pets microchipped during routine veterinary visits or during other procedures. Ideally, any pet who spends time outdoors or travels with their owner should be microchipped to ensure they are easily identifiable.
What Happens If My Pet Is Found?
If your pet is found by a shelter, animal control agency, or veterinarian, the staff will scan for a microchip, identifying your pet’s ID number. They can then access your contact details through the microchip registry and reach out to you. To make the system effective, it’s essential to keep your contact information up to date in the registry.
