Reuniting lost pets with their worried owners through
Pet Microchipping.
Why getting your pet microchipped is important.
Almost 10 million pets are lost in the US every year. Microchipping provides a reliable way to increase the chance of your pet being identified and returned to you. Unlike collars and tags, which can be lost or removed, a microchip is a permanent form of identification.
How microchipping a cat or dog works.
Microchipping involves inserting a tiny, rice-sized microchip under your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. This microchip contains a unique identification number registered in a national database. If your pet becomes lost and is found, a veterinarian or animal shelter can scan the pet microchip to retrieve the identification number and access your contact information in the database.
The Microchipping Process
- Insertion: The microchipping procedure is quick, similar to a vaccination with a larger needle. Our experienced veterinary team will maintain our high safety standards and keep the process as stress-free as possible for your pet.
- Registration: Once the microchip is inserted, we will explain the process of registering your pet’s microchip in a national database. Ask as many questions as you need to feel confident about registering your pet’s microchip so you can access its information.
- Updating Information:It’s essential to keep your contact information up to date in the pet microchip database. If you move or change your phone number, make sure to update the information to maintain the microchip’s effectiveness.

What happens if your pet gets lost.
If your cat or dog goes missing, having a pet microchip significantly increases the chances of a safe return. Here’s what happens:
Found and Scanned
When a lost pet is found and taken to a veterinarian or animal shelter, the first step is to scan the pet for a microchip.
Identification Number
The scanner reads the unique identification number on the microchip.
Database Search
The identification number is then entered into a national database to retrieve your contact information.
Happy Reunion
The veterinarian or shelter contacts you, leading to a quick reunion with your pet.
