What is a Microchip and how do I get one?
This chip is about the diameter of pencil lead, and is placed just below your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. It’s inserted using a syringe…similar to giving a vaccine injection. Your pet can be fully conscious when the microchip is placed; however, we prefer to place the microchip while your pet is being spayed or neutered. If your pet is lost or stolen and picked up by animal control or brought to a shelter or clinic, your pet will be scanned with a universal scanner, and, if chipped, a number will come up that links your pet back to your current address and phone number!
