What is a microchip & why is it so important for my pet to have one?
Statistics tend to vary from organization to organization but one thing is certain, millions of pets get lost every year. Without proper identification as many as half of them will not make it back home. Collars and tags can come off or be taken off. A microchip provides permanent identification for the pet and greatly enhances the likelihood of returning to their families.
A microchip is an integrated transponder encapsulated in bio-glass. The chip is inserted with a needle under the skin between the shoulder blades. The bio-glass helps to prevent tissue irritation and migration of the chip. Each chip is encoded with a unique identification number. A scanner activates the chip and the number is displayed on its screen. The registry can then be checked and the owner contacted. Please make sure you register your pet’s chip! If the chip isn’t registered the owner can’t be found.
Although uncommon, microchips can fail or wear out over time. We can also scan animals that are already chipped to make sure it's still working. Alternatively, You can ask your vet to scan your pets during their annual checkups to make sure their chips are operating correctly.
