Microchipping
At Foothill Farms Veterinary Hospital, we work alongside you to prioritize your pet’s safety through microchipping, a safe and reliable means to protect your pet from being lost.
What is Microchipping?
Pet microchipping involves implanting a tiny chip, about the size of a grain of rice, under your pet’s skin. This chip contains a unique identification number that veterinarians and animal shelters can scan to access your contact information. Unlike collars or tags, microchips do not fall off or become unreadable over time.
Benefits of Microchipping
- Permanent Identification: Microchips provide a permanent form of identification that cannot be lost or removed.
- Increased Recovery Chances: Pets with microchips are significantly more likely to be reunited with their owners if lost.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing your pet has a microchip gives you peace of mind, especially if they are prone to wandering.
How Microchipping Works
The microchipping process is simple and quick. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation: Our veterinarians will discuss the microchipping procedure and answer any questions you may have.
- Insertion: The microchip is inserted under the skin, usually between the shoulder blades, using a sterile needle.
- Registration: After the chip is implanted, we will help you register your pet’s microchip with a national database, ensuring your contact information is up-to-date.
- Follow-Up: We recommend regular check-ups to ensure the microchip functions correctly and your contact information remains current.
