What Is a Microchip?

A microchip is a tiny device (about the size of a grain of rice) that’s inserted just under your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades. It contains a unique identification number that links to your contact information in a national pet recovery database.

It is not a GPS, but it works in conjunction with veterinary clinics and animal shelters across the country that scan lost pets and access the registry to reunite them with their families.

Why Microchipping Matters

  • 1 in 3 pets will get lost during their lifetime
  • Microchipped pets are over 2.5x more likely to be returned to their owners
  • Collars and tags can fall off — a microchip is permanent

Our microchipping procedure is quick, safe, and similar to a vaccine injection. No anesthesia or recovery time is needed.
