Microchipping

Microchipping is an easy yet permanent way to identify your pet, prove ownership and help bring a lost pet home. A microchip is a tiny electronic device implanted beneath the pet’s skin between the shoulder blades with a special syringe. The procedure is as easy and painless as a vaccination. The microchips unique number, as well as the owner and pet’s details are logged on a national pet registry. Most veterinary hospitals and animal shelters have electronic scanners for detecting and reading these implanted microchips. If a lost pet is found and a microchip is scanned it is easy to trace the owner via the database.
