How Does Microchipping Your Pet Work?
Microchipping is a straightforward process that involves implanting a tiny microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, under your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades. This microchip contains a unique identification number that is associated with your contact information in a national pet recovery database.
When a lost pet is found, animal shelters, veterinary clinics, or humane societies can use a handheld scanner to detect the microchip. Once scanned, the microchip reveals the identification number, which is then cross-referenced with the database to retrieve the owner’s contact details. This information allows the pet’s owner to be promptly notified and facilitates the reunion between the lost pet and its family.
Microchipping provides a reliable and permanent form of identification for pets, ensuring that they can be quickly reunited with their owners, even if they wander far from home.
