Microchipping

Microchip Implantation is important if your pet ever has the possibility of escaping from your yard or care, and if you travel a lot to different locations. There are numerous reasons why a pet may escape your environment, including but not limited to, the scent trail of another animal, the smell of food, and lack of stimulation at home. When a pet gets lost, they can encounter situations in which their collar may fall off, leaving a name tag and rabies tag insufficient for identification purposes. But if your pet has had a microchip implanted, you do not have to worry about such circumstances. All animal shelters carry a universal microchip scanner for pets that have been found. Additionally, if your pet was found by a person and brought to a veterinary clinic, the veterinary personnel would scan your pet to see if a microchip has been implanted. Your pet’s individual microchip number is then identified and the company is contacted to get your contact information.
