Importance of Pet Microchipping

The Importance of Microchipping Your Pet

When you are concerned about the safety of your pet, microchipping can make a big difference if your pet gets lost. While you can have tags on your pet, these can fall off or become faded over time. At Twin Peaks Veterinary Center in Tucson, we provide pet microchipping services so that your pet’s identity can be easily uncovered if they are lost and have been brought to a shelter.

How Microchipping Works

A microchip is about the size of a grain of rice, and is embedded under the skin of your pet. When the microchip is scanned by the right device, it reads an ID number contained by the microchip that can be cross-referenced against a database that contains the contact information you provide. It is important to keep your information up to date in the microchipping database so that it is easy for you to be contacted when your pet is found.

The Benefits of Microchipping

Microchipping is easy to do, and it helps to keep your pet safe if he gets lost. Microchips last the lifetime of your pet, and aren’t painful for your pet to have implanted. With the aid of a microchip, your pet’s identity can be discovered quickly, which is very important if he happens to go missing. Microchipping is a safe way to give your pet the ability to be identified if they are found by a stranger.
