Microchipping
Pet Microchipping
Peace of Mind That Lasts a Lifetime
One of the most heartbreaking experiences for any pet owner is realizing that their beloved companion has gone missing. Unfortunately, only 17% of dogs and a staggering 2% of cats are ever reunited with their families without proper identification.
That’s why My Vet Animal Hospital strongly encourages microchipping your pets—even if they live exclusively indoors. Accidents happen, and even the most well-behaved pets can slip out unnoticed.
Why Microchipping Matters
Unlike collars or tags that can break, fall off, or become unreadable, microchips provide permanent, secure identification that lasts your pet’s lifetime. These tiny chips are about the size of a grain of rice and are:
- Permanently embedded under the skin
- Rated for up to 25 years—no need to replace or recharge
- Simple, quick, and minimally invasive to insert
Once implanted, your pet’s microchip can be scanned by veterinarians or shelters to instantly access your contact information and help bring your pet home.
💡 Pro Tip: A microchip is only as effective as the contact information it holds. Always keep your registration details up to date!
Safe, Quick, and Affordable
Microchipping is a fast, low-cost procedure that offers lifelong protection. It can be done during a routine wellness exam or along with a spay/neuter procedure.
