Microchipping

Pet Microchipping at Advanced Veterinary Care - San Elijo

Microchipping is a simple and effective way to provide permanent identification for your furry friend, ensuring that they can be quickly reunited with you if they ever become lost or separated.

A microchip is a tiny, rice-sized device that contains a unique identification number. It is implanted under your pet's skin, usually between the shoulder blades, using a sterile needle. The microchip is encoded with your contact information, which can be read using a special scanner commonly found at veterinary clinics, animal shelters, and animal control facilities.

Microchipping offers several benefits for pets and pet owners, including:

Permanent Identification
Quick and Easy Reunification
Proof of Ownership
International Travel
Peace of Mind

Updating Your Contact Information

It's essential to keep your contact information associated with your pet's microchip up to date. If you move or change your phone number, be sure to notify the microchip registry to ensure that your pet can be reunited with you if they ever become lost.
