Microchipping
Microchipping
Every year, families face the heartbreak of a lost pet. Without identification, many pets never make it back home. However, with a microchip, lost pets have a greater chance of reuniting with their families. At Gobles Veterinary Clinic, we offer microchipping as a sure way of reuniting you with your pets should they get out of the house or get too far ahead on an outdoor adventure. Unlike collars and tags that can slip off, a microchip is permanent, safe, and stays with your pet for life.
What is a microchip?
- A microchip is a tiny device, about the size of a grain of rice, placed just under your pet’s skin.
- The procedure is quick, safe, and no more uncomfortable than a vaccination.
- Each microchip contains a unique ID number that links to your contact information in a national database.
How does a microchip work?
When a lost pet is found, it’s common practice for veterinary clinics, shelters/rescues, and more to scan for a microchip. That tiny chip holds the information needed to reunite pets with the families who love them quickly.
Pets with microchips are far more likely to be reunited with their families. Knowing your pet’s safety is always protected gives your family confidence and peace of mind.
