A pet microchip is a small, permanent form of identification.
Losing a pet is every pet owner’s worst nightmare, but with microchipping, you can increase the chances of a safe reunion. Collars and tags can break or be taken off. A microchip stays with your pet for life. At easyvet McKinney, we believe that every cat and dog deserves the extra layer of security that comes with microchipping. Whether your pet is an adventurous outdoor explorer or prefers the cozy indoors, microchipping prepares them for the unexpected.
The Many Benefits of Microchipping
A pet microchip contains a unique identification number that links to a pet owner’s contact information in a secure database. When a lost pet is found and taken to a vet or animal shelter, the staff uses a scanner to read the chip and quickly contact the owner. The benefits are clear.
- Reliable Identification: Microchips can’t fall off or wear out like collars.
- Quicker Reunions: Vets and shelters routinely scan for microchips, which gets lost pets home faster.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing your pet has permanent identification brings reassurance in unexpected situations.
Statistics show that microchipped pets are significantly more likely to be reunited with their families. It’s a simple, effective step that can make all the difference if your pet ever goes missing.
Getting your pet microchipped is a fast procedure.
During a regular veterinary visit, a tiny microchip is inserted beneath your pet’s skin. The process takes only seconds. No recovery time is required. Your pet can go back to their normal activities right away, and you’ll leave with the confidence that they now have an extra layer of protection. For a completely painless experience, we can perform microchipping while your pet is under anesthesia if they have a dental cleaning or simple surgery like a spay or neuter scheduled in the near future.
Registering and Updating Your Pet's Microchip
While microchipping provides the hardware, registering your pet is the key to making it work. After your pet is microchipped, our team will register the microchip with your current contact information. Without registration, the chip is just a number with no way to reach you.
Equally important is keeping this information up to date. If you move, change your phone number, or update your email address, remember to revise your microchip registration. Many services allow quick online updates, making it simple to ensure your pet’s microchip always leads back to you. Have questions about how to change your information? Just ask!
