Microchips FAQ
- A microchip is a tiny, permanent identification device about the size of a grain of rice that is implanted just under your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades that will last your pets lifetime .
- Each microchip contains a unique identification number that when scanned, will trace to your information to help reunite you with your pet.
- No. Microchips are not GPS devices and cannot track or locate your pet in real time.
- They serve as a permanent form of identification with a unique number linked to your contact details—so if your pet is ever lost, a quick scan can help bring them back home.
- The procedure is quick and simple, much like a routine vaccination.
