Microchipping

No loving pet parent ever wants to imagine a scenario in which their beloved four-legged companion becomes lost. Unfortunately, these things happen. The best way to keep your pet safe is by planning ahead. Microchip identification provides convenient, affordable, durable protection and peace of mind that typical forms of ID, such as collars and tags, cannot. Don’t take chances with your pet’s safety – invest in lasting identification today.

What is a microchip?

A microchip is a tiny device that is about the diameter of a pencil lead. This safe, miniature apparatus is encoded with a number that corresponds to a database where your contact information is stored. Should your pet become separated from you, the area where the chip is implanted can be scanned at any local animal shelter or veterinary clinic – near or far. The information gathered can then help reunite you both safely for a happy ending.

Does microchipping hurt?

Implanting a microchip is swift and virtually painless. The process is completed using a local anesthetic for the comfort of your pet. Once implanted, the chip will remain safely under your pet’s skin for the rest of his or her life. You’ll never have to do it again. More importantly, you’ll never have to worry about what will happen to your BFF should he or she become separated from you.

Is microchipping expensive?

Many pet owners are happily surprised to learn that microchip implantation is extremely affordable. Coit Hedgcoxe Animal Hospital offers this service for a minimal charge. It can be performed either during a wellness visit, while your companion is anesthetized for surgery, or at any other visit of your choice.

Increase your chances of being quickly and safely reunited with your pet by investing in permanent microchip identification today! Contact our team to learn more.
