What Is Microchipping?

Microchipping is a permanent method of pet identification. A small, rice-sized microchip is inserted just beneath your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades. Each microchip contains a unique identification number linked to a database with your contact information. This number can be scanned by animal shelters and veterinary clinics, allowing them to identify your pet and contact you immediately if your pet is found.

Microchipping offers multiple advantages and is a safe way to ensure your pet’s return if they ever go missing. Unlike collars or tags, which can be removed or lost, a microchip stays with your pet, making it a dependable identification method.

Key Benefits of Microchipping at Calusa Crossing Animal Hospital:

Increases the likelihood of reunification
Microchips improve the chances of reuniting lost pets with their guardians.

Permanent identification
Microchips cannot be removed or damaged as easily as tags or collars.

Quick and painless procedure
The microchip insertion is quick, similar to a routine vaccination, and causes minimal discomfort.

Essential for travel
Many airlines and international destinations require pets to be microchipped for identification.

Remember, a microchip is only effective if your contact information is current. If you move or change phone numbers, updating this information with the microchip provider will ensure the fastest return if your pet is found.

When to Consider Microchipping Your Pet

Pet microchipping is suitable for most pets and is often done during a routine wellness visit or alongside another procedure, like spaying or neutering. You should consider microchipping if:

Your pet often spends time outdoors.
You live in an area with potential escape routes, such as fenced yards.
You plan to travel with your pet or move to a new area.
Your pet is prone to slipping out of collars or doesn’t wear one regularly.
