What Is Pet Microchipping?

A microchip is a tiny, electronic chip—about the size of a grain of rice—that’s safely implanted beneath your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. Each chip contains a unique ID number that’s linked to your contact information in a national pet recovery database.

Microchips are not tracking devices, but they are scannable by shelters and veterinary clinics nationwide. If your pet is found, the chip can help reunite you quickly—even if they’re not wearing a collar or tags.

Why Microchipping Matters

Collars can fall off, and ID tags can fade or become outdated. A microchip provides permanent identification that stays with your pet for life. It’s one of the most effective tools in pet recovery.

Benefits of microchipping include:

Permanent, tamper-proof ID
Increased chance of recovering lost or stolen pets
Quick, minimally invasive procedure

Lifetime registration with national databases
Peace of mind for pet parents

Studies show that microchipped dogs are more than twice as likely to be returned to their owners, and cats are over twenty times more likely.

What to Expect During the Microchipping Process

The microchipping procedure is fast, simple, and similar to a routine vaccination:

A small chip is implanted under the skin using a sterile needle.
The procedure takes just seconds and requires no anesthesia.

Your pet may feel a brief pinch, but most don’t even notice.
Once implanted, we register your chip number with your contact information in a secure national database.

When Should My Pet Be Microchipped?

We recommend microchipping as early as possible, especially for puppies and kittens who are active and curious. However, pets of any age can benefit from microchipping. It’s especially important for:

Outdoor pets or escape artists
Pets that travel with you
Pets prone to bolting during storms or fireworks
