What is a mircochip and how does it work?
Losing a pet can be heartbreaking, and an unsuccessful search even more. Over the past few decades a new method has been developed in helping us keep track of our pets, microchipping. Microchipping is nothing more than your pet receiving another annual vaccine. A microchip is administered through a needle and is implanted in the flap of skin in the neck of your pet. The chip itself is a tiny capsule, about the size of a grain of rice. Bascially, the chip holds a 10 digit number that is given to your pet specifcally. The chip remains inactive until it is scanned, and today just about every vet and animal control center is equiped with these scanners. Once a chip has been idenified professional personal will ensure the safe return of your pet.
