Pet Microchipping

The veterinarians at Veterinary Medical Center recommend pet identification microchipping. This simple, virtually painless procedure installs a tiny chip the size of a grain of rice under your pet’s skin, between the shoulder blades. Each tiny microchip is encoded with unique information about your pet. This information is entered into a national database. Veterinary hospitals and animal shelters across the country are equipped with special scanners capable of detecting and reading microchips. If your pet is lost, his or her microchip is scanned and the information is used to reunite you and your best friend.
