Microchipping

A quick, simple way to permanently identify your pet and improve the chances of a safe return if they’re ever lost.

About the service

Microchipping is one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your pet. The microchip is a small device placed just under the skin that contains a unique ID number linked to your contact information.

If your pet is ever lost and brought to a veterinary clinic or shelter, they can be scanned and identified quickly—helping reunite you faster and with less stress.

  • Safe, quick, and minimally invasive placement
  • Permanent identification that won’t wear off or fall off
  • Helping improve the chances of a safe return
  • Simple registration and setup
  • Peace of mind for pet owners

Microchipping is a small step that can make a big difference in protecting your pet for life.

Does microchipping hurt my pet?

It’s very quick and similar to a routine injection. Most pets tolerate it well.

Does the microchip track my pet’s location?

No. Microchips are not GPS devices—they store identification information that can be read with a scanner.

Do I still need a collar and tag?

Yes. A collar provides immediate identification, while a microchip is a permanent backup.

What happens if I move or change my phone number?

You’ll need to update your contact information with the microchip registry, which is quick and easy.
