Considering a microchip?

Microchipping is arguably the best way to ensure that your pet returns home safe and sound in the event that it becomes lost. Why? Unlike tags and collars, microchips are embeded just underneath the skin of your pet (in the scruff area) and will not fall or break off. The chip contains a unique number that is associated with your pet. A quick scan and we can locate your contact information (only that which you designate) and can be in touch with you to reunite you with your loving pet.

A Few Common Questions About Microchips...

Are microchips safe?

Yes. Microchips are a passive technology, meaning they don't emit anything. They're encased in a bio-safe shell that is about the size of a grain of rice.

Is it a complicated medical procedure to have my pet chipped?

No, not really. It's about the equivalent of giving a vaccine, though the needle is larger. Microchips are placed in the scruff of an animal's neck, so placement is normally fast, easy and about as painful as a pin-prick.

Does the microchip contain my personal information?

Nope! It contains an alphanumeric code (numbers and letters) that is associated with your contact information in a database typically owned by the microchip manufacturer.

Is microchipping the first step toward big brother?

No. Microchipping is privately maintained by over half a dozen companies. All it does it match your pet to you when it gets lost. No tracking or monitoring. Just good ol' lost and found.
