Pet Microchipping in Vancouver, WA
Pet microchipping is a simple yet effective way to protect your pet if they ever become lost. Unlike collars and tags, which can break or fall off, a pet microchip provides a permanent form of identification that stays with your pet for life. At Orchards Veterinary Clinic we offer professional pet microchipping services to give pet owners peace of mind.
How Pet Microchipping Works
Microchipping is a quick and straightforward procedure in which a small chip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. This chip contains a unique identification number that, when registered in a national database, links to your contact information. If your pet is found and taken to a veterinary clinic or animal shelter, a microchip scanner can read the chip and help reunite you with your pet.
Benefits of Pet Microchipping
Microchipping your pet provides an additional layer of protection, helping ensure that they can be safely returned to you if they go missing. Key benefits include:
- Permanent Identification: Unlike collars and tags, a microchip cannot be removed, lost, or damaged.
- Higher Chances of Reuniting Lost Pets: Many veterinary clinics and shelters routinely scan for microchips, increasing the likelihood of a lost pet being returned.
- Quick and Painless Procedure: Implantation takes only a few seconds and is similar to receiving a routine vaccination.
- Low Maintenance: No upkeep or battery replacement is required once the microchip is implanted.
- Widely Recognized Identification: Microchips are used by veterinary hospitals and shelters across the country, making them a reliable form of pet identification.
