What Is a Microchip and How Does It Work?
A microchip is a tiny device placed under your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. It contains a unique ID linked to your contact information in a national database. Although not a GPS tracker, it can be scanned by vets, shelters, or animal control to identify your pet if lost. It’s permanent, requires no batteries, and needs no maintenance.
Why Should You Microchip Your Pet?
- Permanent ID: Unlike collars, microchips can’t be lost.
- Increased Recovery Chances: Significantly improves the odds of your lost pet being returned.
- Simple Process: Quick and relatively painless to implant.
- Travel Requirements: Some countries require microchipping for pet travel.
What to Expect When You Microchip Your Dog or Cat?
- Quick Procedure: Usually done during a regular vet visit.
- Injection: A small chip is injected under the skin, like a routine shot.
- Minimal Discomfort: Most pets barely react.
- Registration: You will use the chip’s ID to register your contact details.
- Lifelong ID: The chip lasts your pet’s lifetime.
