Small animal microchipping involves the insertion of a tiny identification device beneath the skin of a pet, typically between the shoulder blades. This microchip contains a unique code that can be scanned by a vet or animal professional to retrieve the owner’s contact information from a database. It serves as a permanent form of identification for pets.

Procedure Overview:

• Safe and Quick Process: Our trained professionals perform the microchipping procedure in a safe and controlled environment. It’s a quick and virtually painless process for your pet, similar to a routine vaccination.

• Implantation: Using a sterile needle, a tiny microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is inserted beneath the skin between the animal’s shoulder blades. This ensures it remains in place and can be easily scanned if needed.

• Identification Information: The microchip contains a unique identification number that is registered to your contact details in a national pet database. This information includes your name, address, and contact numbers, ensuring swift identification and reunion if your pet gets lost or separated from you.

Benefits of Microchipping:

• Permanent Identification: Unlike collars or tags that can be lost or removed, a microchip provides a permanent form of identification for your pet.

• Safe Return: If your pet goes missing and is found by a shelter or veterinary clinic, they can scan the microchip to retrieve your contact information, increasing the chances of a safe return home.

• Legal Requirements: In many places, microchipping is a legal requirement for pet ownership. It ensures responsible pet ownership and aids in reuniting lost pets with their owners.
