We suggest that you take both preventive means above to keep your pet safe and correctly identified. You are then called and notified that your beloved pet has been found. This way, if your pet is ever lost, it can be returned home safely to the correct and current specified address associated with the microchip.

It is very important to keep this information up to date, especially if you move and change addresses. Using the scanning device, the microchip is recognized, and the ID number attached to your pet is retrieved. The company attached to the specific microchip is called to retrieve the identification information that you shared when the microchip was first inserted. If your pet ever wanders from home and becomes lost and eventually becomes found, it can be taken to any veterinary office or shelter and scanned for microchip identification. Your pet is now securely identified and is under the protection of the microchip and the information it carries. We will add your pet’s information to the identification database under your pet’s speci fic ID number.
#MICROCHIP LOOK UP SKIN#
The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and is inserted (pain-free) under the skin between the shoulder blades.Īs a pet owner, you will complete an info sheet with basic information such as your pet’s name and your home address, email, and telephone number. This is where a microchip is highly recommended since it cannot become lost, and it is always with your pet. Please keep in mind that collars and tags can also become lost, so a secondary method of identification is always suggested. If your pet has this type of identification, then they probably would not have shown up at the clinic in the first place!

The easiest and quickest way to gather this information is to see if the pet has a tag with identification, including their name, address, and owner phone number.
