Pet Microchipping
At Main Street Animal Clinic, we offer professional pet microchipping services to help ensure your pet can be quickly identified and returned to you if they ever become lost.
What Is Pet Microchipping?
Ensuring the safety of your beloved pets is a top priority, and pet microchipping is a reliable and effective way to do just that.
Pet microchipping involves implanting a tiny microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, under your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. This chip contains a unique identification number that is registered in a national database, along with your contact information. If your pet is found and scanned by a veterinary clinic or animal shelter, the chip can be used to identify you as the owner.
Benefits of Pet Microchipping
There are several key benefits to pet microchipping:
- Permanent Identification: Unlike collars or tags, which can fall off or be removed, a microchip provides a permanent form of identification that stays with your pet throughout their life.
- Increased Chances of Recovery: Pets with microchips are much more likely to be returned to their owners if they become lost. Shelters and veterinary clinics routinely scan for microchips, making it easier to reunite lost pets with their families.
- Quick and Simple Procedure: The microchipping process is quick, minimally invasive, and similar to a routine vaccination. It can be done during a regular visit to the clinic.
When to Microchip Your Pet
Microchipping can be done at any age, but it is commonly performed during routine veterinary visits, such as spaying or neutering. If your pet is not already microchipped, it’s never too late to schedule this important procedure. The peace of mind that comes with knowing your pet can be identified is invaluable.
