About microchipping
If your pet then strays or is stolen, you have no reliable way to identify them.
The microchip is implanted under the skin of your pet’s neck and the unique, specific number of this microchip is linked to your contact information in the database.
Then, when the microchip is read by a device called a scanner, the number pops up on the screen.
How is the microchip placed?
The microchip is very small – only the size of a grain of rice – so the needle it uses is also small and laser-sharpened.
It does not need anesthesia and can be done in just a few seconds. For more pets, there is no change in the introduction after inclusion in the procedure. And complications are extremely rare.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you accepting new patients?
Is the microchip a tracking device?
Microchips do not currently have this capability. But they are still the best way to help a lost pet contact you safely!
How is a microchip implanted in an animal? Is it painful? Does it require surgery or anesthesia?
The microchip is injected under the skin using a hypodermic needle. It is no more painful than a typical injection, although the needle is slightly larger than the one used for the injection.
No surgery or anesthesia required – a microchip can be implanted during a routine visit to a veterinary office.
If your pet is already under anesthesia for a procedure such as castration or sterilization, the microchip can often be implanted while still under anesthesia.
How does a wet chip help if my pet gets lost?
When an animal is found and taken to a shelter or veterinary clinic, one of the first things they do is scan the animal for a microchip.
If they find a microchip and the microchip registry has accurate information, they can quickly find the owner of the animal.
