Here’s what you should know about microchipping
-
- The procedure is nothing more than an injection similar to a vaccine or routine shot that inserts the microchip—which is about the size of a grain of rice—under your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades.
- A microchip is not a GPS, so it cannot be used to locate your pet. But it can be used to identify him or her and facilitate a quick reunion.
- It’s important to keep your contact information up to date so you can be notified when your pet is found.
- Having a microchip is only the first step. By registering your pet’s number in our database, you’ll increase your chances of a happy and healthy reunion with your pet. The SNYP clinic staff will do the initial registration for you at no charge. You can also call 24PetWatch at 1-866-597-2424.
