Microchipping is crucial for pet safety, ensuring a higher chance of reunion if they ever get lost.
When a dog is lost and doesn’t have a collar, there’s little to no way of knowing where they belong. A microchip is a permanent identification device that can help your furry friend make it home.
Microchipping is important because if your dog is found and taken to a clinic or shelter they can be scanned and reunited with their owners quickly. Having a microchip is also required for travel to many countries if you plan to travel with your dog and it can be beneficial when licencing your pet.
A microchip is the size of a grain of rice. It is placed under the skin between the shoulder blades using a needle. It is a tiny data chip containing a number unique to your pet. Once scanned this number is transmitted to the microchip company who can tell you who that pet belongs to. It is a very safe practice.
