Microchipping

Microchips are a small device, about the size of a grain of rice, implanted between your pet’s shoulder blades. The electronics are housed inside a bio-glass sleeve and are safe for both animals and humans.

If your pet gets lost and someone takes them to the vet or pound, they can get scanned while there. The scan will allow you to know that our furry friend has been safe.

Installing a chip is easy and painless. Your pet shouldn't feel any more than a slight pinch, so you don’t have to hold them down or worry about soreness after the procedure finishes.
