What is Pet Microchipping?
Pet microchipping is a quick and simple procedure where a tiny microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under your pet’s skin. This microchip contains a unique ID number that can be read by a scanner. When a lost pet is found, this ID number helps shelters and veterinarians access your contact information to reunite you with your pet.
Benefits of Dog and Cat Microchipping
Microchipping offers several key benefits:
Unlike collars and tags, a microchip won’t fall off or wear out.
Minimal Inconvenience:
The procedure is as easy and quick as a routine vaccination.
Increased Reunification:
Microchipped pets are much more likely to be returned to their owners if lost.
A microchip can serve as proof of ownership in disputes.
How Does the Microchip Work?
A dog microchip or cat microchip contains a unique ID number linked to a database with your contact information. When a lost pet is found and scanned, this ID number is used to retrieve the owner’s details. Keeping your contact information updated in the database is crucial for timely reunification.
When Should You Microchip Your Pet?
It’s best to microchip your pet as early as possible. Many owners opt to microchip during the first vet visit or initial vaccinations. However, it’s never too late to microchip your pet, especially if they spend time outdoors or travel frequently.
Ideal Times for Microchipping:
- Early Vet Visits: During initial vaccinations.
- Adoption: Before bringing a new pet home.
