Losing a pet can be stressful and emotional. A microchip can greatly improve the chances of being reunited with your pet if they are found.

What Is Pet Microchipping?

A microchip is a small electronic chip placed just beneath your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. The procedure is quick, safe, and similar to a routine vaccination.

Each microchip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by veterinary clinics, shelters, and animal control organizations. This number links to your contact information in a secure registry database.

Why Is Microchipping Important?

Collars and tags can become damaged or lost, but a microchip provides permanent identification that stays with your pet for life. If your pet becomes lost, a microchip can help improve the chances of a safe return home.

Pet microchipping is especially important for:

  • Pets that spend time outdoors
  • Newly adopted pets
  • Pets that travel frequently
  • Curious pets prone to escaping
Microchipping offers added peace of mind for pet owners throughout St. Joseph, Cold Spring, and Paynesville, MN.
