Permanent Identification for Peace of Mind
Even the most careful pet parents know that pets can sometimes get lost or separated from their families. A microchip provides a reliable, permanent way to help identify your dog or cat and reunite them with you if they’re ever found.
How Microchipping Works
A pet microchip is a tiny identification device, about the size of a grain of rice, that is placed just beneath the skin. The quick procedure does not require surgery or anesthesia and can typically be performed during a regular veterinary visit.
Unlike collars and tags, a microchip is designed to stay with your pet for life and cannot easily be lost or removed. When a lost pet is brought to a veterinary hospital, shelter, or other facility with a microchip scanner, the chip can provide an identification number that can be used to access the owner information associated with the chip.
Microchip Registration Matters
A microchip is only helpful if your contact information is kept current. After your pet is microchipped, be sure to register the chip and update your information whenever your phone number, address, or other contact details change.
A Simple Step Toward Safer Pet Ownership
Microchipping is a quick, simple addition to your pet’s preventive care plan and can provide valuable peace of mind. At East & West Animal Hospital, we’re happy to answer your questions about microchipping and help make sure your companion has permanent identification in place.
