We encourage all pet owners to microchip their animal companions.
The sad fact is that so many dogs and cats do not make it back to their owners when lost.
Microchipping significantly increases the chances that your pet will be returned to you.
Unlike collars and tags, microchips can't fall off, and serve as permanent identification for the pet’s entire life.
A microchip, which is a tiny device about the size and shape of a grain of rice, is placed just under the loose skin at the back of the neck; a relatively painless procedure.
When a lost dog or cat is found, our staff member will use a handheld microchip scanner to check for a chip. If the pet has one, it will transmit it's ID number to the scanner.
The Clinic will then call the chip manufacturer, and retrieve the pet owner's contact information.
