Keep Your Pet Safe With Microchipping
If you have ever lost a pet, no matter how briefly, you know how terrifying it can be. You worry about your pet’s whereabouts and whether he or she will ever be returned to you. One of the best ways to help maximize your chances of being reunited is to have your animal microchipped.
Microchipping Helps Lost Pets Get Home Safe
Every year, thousands of pets go missing—and sadly, many never make it back home. While collars and ID tags are helpful, they aren’t foolproof. Indoor pets often don’t wear them, and even when they do, collars can break and tags can become lost or unreadable. That’s why your pet needs a more reliable form of identification—one that can’t be lost, stolen, or damaged. Microchipping offers a safe, simple, and permanent way to help ensure your pet finds their way back to you.
A microchip is a tiny device—about the size of a grain of rice—implanted just beneath your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. The procedure is quick, safe, and takes only a few minutes. Each microchip contains a unique ID number that links to your contact information, including your name, address, and phone number.
After the chip is implanted, you’ll receive a registration form to complete. Registering your pet’s microchip number adds them to a national pet recovery database. Veterinary clinics, shelters, and animal control facilities across the country have special scanners that can detect and read these chips. If your pet is found and scanned, the ID number will connect them back to you. One call to the microchip company is all it takes to start the reunion process.
Microchipping is suitable for pets of all ages—even young puppies and kittens. And even if your pet stays indoors, accidents happen. A door left open or a frightened pet during a storm could lead to them getting lost. Relying only on collars or tags, which can fall off or become unreadable, leaves room for risk.
