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.
Save This Life microchips go beyond basic identification. They include features that speed up the process of reuniting you with your pet. For instance, when your pet is found and the microchip is scanned, a text message can be sent directly to you.
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.
