Microchipping

It is important that your dog or cat has identification at all times. Collars and tags are essential, but they can fall off or become damaged. A microchip is the permanent solution.

It is about the size of a grain of rice and consists of a tiny computer. The microchip is implanted between the animal's shoulder blades under the skin with a needle and special syringe. Your pet will experience little to no pain. Once in place, the microchip can be detected immediately with a handheld device that uses radio waves to read the chip.
​
Microchipping has several advantages: 

• Microchips are designed to last for the life of your pet. They do not need to be charged or replaced.
• Microchipping can increase the odds of finding your beloved companion if lost as any animal can be easily identified if found by a shelter or veterinary office in possession of a scanner and traced back to its owner.      
• Microchipping is also required for international travel.
