Microchips are a permanent form of identification.  A small chip the size of a grain of rice is implanted under your pet’s skin in the same manner as giving an injection.  The chip contains information about you and your pet and can be read using a special scanner.

After we implant the microchip, you will be given the paperwork to send in that will register all of your contact information into the national database.  When a stray or lost pet comes into a veterinary hospital or shelter, they are scanned with special scanners to look for a microchip.  Collars and tags can fall off or be removed, but a microchip is a permanent means of identification and becomes your best chance to reunite you and your pet should he become lost.
