At All Aboard Animal Hospital, we understand that your pet is not just an animal but part of your family. That’s why we highly recommend pet microchipping – a simple, safe, and effective way to ensure your beloved companion’s safety. Microchipping is a quick and non-invasive procedure that could make all the difference in reuniting you with your pet should they ever get lost.
The pet microchipping procedure is straightforward, causes minimal discomfort, and is similar to a routine vaccination. A tiny chip, about the size of a grain of rice, is inserted under your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades. This chip carries a unique identification number that is registered to you. The procedure takes only a few minutes but offers a lifetime of security for your pet and peace of mind for owners.
Once microchipped, you will register your information alongside your pet’s details in a national database. The microchip itself is passive, meaning it doesn’t require a power source and doesn’t emit a signal. It becomes activated by a handheld scanner that animal professionals use.
When the scanner passes over the chip, it reads the unique ID number. Veterinary or rescue personnel can use this number to retrieve your contact information from the database, facilitating a swift and happy reunion.
It’s essential to keep your contact details updated in the microchip registry. If you move or change phone numbers, updating this information is crucial to the effectiveness of the chip.
Microchipping your pet at All Aboard Animal Hospital is a step towards ensuring their safety and your peace of mind. It’s a small act that speaks volumes about your love and commitment to your pet’s well-being.
