A microchip is one of the simplest and most effective ways to help ensure your pet can be identified and returned home if they ever become lost. Unlike collars and ID tags, which can become damaged or fall off, a microchip provides permanent identification that stays with your pet for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Englehart Animal Hospital, microchipping is a quick, safe, and minimally invasive procedure. A tiny microchip, approximately the size of a grain of rice, is placed just beneath your pet\u2019s skin between the shoulder blades. The procedure is similar to receiving a routine vaccination and typically takes only a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your pet is microchipped, the unique identification number is linked to your contact information in a secure national pet recovery database. If your pet is ever found and brought to a veterinary clinic or animal shelter, they can be scanned for a microchip, allowing staff to quickly identify your pet and contact you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
