Microchipping

What is Microchipping?

Microchipping is a simple, safe, and effective way to permanently identify your pet. The process involves the insertion of a microchip, roughly the size of a grain of rice, just beneath your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. This microchip contains a unique identification number that is registered on a national database, linking your pet to your contact information. The implantation process is quick, requires no surgery, and is as straightforward as a routine vaccination.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What to expect

Microchipping is crucial for the safety of your pet. It has proven to be the most reliable method for reuniting lost pets with their owners. Traditional ID tags can fall off or become unreadable, but a microchip is a permanent solution that cannot be lost or damaged. With millions of pets becoming lost each year, those with microchips have a significantly higher chance of being returned to their owners.

Frequently asked questions

How do microchips prioritise the safety and comfort of your pet?

The safety and comfort of your pet are paramount. Microchips are designed to be biocompatible and cause minimal discomfort upon insertion. Once in place, pets typically do not notice the microchip at all, allowing them to live comfortably and without any adverse effects.

How does microchipping provide cost-effective protection for your pet?

Microchipping is an affordable way to protect your pet. Considering the emotional and financial strain of losing a pet, microchipping is a cost-effective solution. We offer competitive pricing and special discounts on our microchipping services, making it accessible for all pet owners.

How does microchipping streamline the process of reuniting lost pets with their owners?

Microchipping simplifies the process of reuniting lost pets with their owners. Shelters, veterinarians, and animal control officers are equipped with microchip scanners that can quickly identify the unique code and retrieve your contact information from the national database. This technology provides peace of mind, knowing that your pet can be safely returned to you if they ever get lost.

Why are microchips better compared to traditional methods like collars and ID tags?

Unlike collars and ID tags that can break or become detached, microchips offer a permanent form of identification. The unique ID number in the microchip can be accessed by veterinarians or animal shelters using a special scanner, ensuring that your pet can always be traced back to you, regardless of the circumstances.
