How does a microchip work?
A microchip is a small device about the size of a grain of rice that is implanted between your pet’s shoulder blades. It is a noninvasive procedure similar to a vaccine and requires no anesthetic or pain meds. The microchip contains a unique identification code that is read when scanned by a chip reader. It is not battery powered so it can never die or be lost. When a chip is properly registered, it will allow the finder of your pet to see your contact information to get your pet back to you. It’s important that when you do get your pet microchipped it’s registered, too! Chips are definite proof of ownership. So, if your pet is ever lost or stolen it’s the best way to make sure they get back to you!
