At Mills Animal Hospital, we know your pet isn't just a pet—they're family. We strongly recommend microchipping using PetLink microchips to ensure that if your pet is ever lost, they can be identified and returned home quickly. Microchipping is the most secure option to prove your ownership if your pet is lost or stolen.

What to Expect with Microchipping
Microchipping is a quick and straightforward process. We insert the microchip, roughly the size of a grain of rice, just beneath your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades using a needle. This procedure is no more complex than a routine vaccination and does not require anesthesia.
PetLink microchips stand out by combining lifetime microchip registration with no recurring fees and 24/7 access to lost-pet reunification specialists. Beyond microchipping, it offers a connected pet-safety ecosystem with GPS tracking, lost-pet alerts, and tools designed to help reunite pets with their families.
How Microchips Help Reunite Pets with Their Families
If your pet gets lost, a microchip significantly increases the chances of a happy reunion. When found, your pet will likely be taken to a veterinary clinic or animal shelter where staff will scan for a microchip. Once they locate the chip, the clinic can retrieve the identification number and access the registry with your contact information, making it easier to reach you.
