What is Microchipping?

Pet microchipping involves implanting a small, electronic chip under your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. This chip carries a unique identification number that can be read by a scanner at most veterinary clinics and animal shelters. The microchip is linked to a database containing your contact information, allowing your pet to be quickly identified and returned to you if they are found.

When Should You Microchip Your Pet?

Microchipping is recommended for all pets, regardless of age or breed. Puppies and kittens can be microchipped as early as eight weeks old. If you have an adult dog that isn’t microchipped yet, it’s never too late to do so. The sooner your pet is microchipped, the sooner you can have peace of mind knowing they have permanent identification.

Additionally, microchipping is especially important if you plan to travel with your pet, as many airlines and countries require pets to have a microchip for identification purposes.
