Microchipping
Why Microchipping is Important
Microchipping is a quick, safe procedure that places a tiny chip under your pet’s skin to provide permanent identification. If your pet ever gets lost, the chip can be scanned at any veterinary office or animal shelter to help reunite you quickly. It’s one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your pet and give you peace of mind.

-
1 out of every 3 pets will go missing during its lifetime.
-
1 out of every 2 lost dogs and 1 out of every 3 lost cats with registered microchips return home.
Without proper ID, up to 90% (!) of pets that go missing will never get the chance to return home.
What is a Microchip?
Which one do we use?
We use HomeAgain microchips to register and ID your pet.
-
Microchips are a safe, permanent way to identify a lost pet.
-
It is not big! The microchip is smaller than a grain of rice, and can be placed under your pet's skin without surgery.
-
Microchips do not hurt your pet. The procedure is very simple, quick, and similar to administering a vaccine or a shot under the skin.
-
These microchips are much more reliable than a collar or tag, because they cannot fall off or get lost.
​
We charge a minimal fee for the microchip, and all pets that are spayed or neutered at our facility are eligible for a free microchip implantation. You pay only the fee to register the chip.
