Microchip Your Pet During Spay and Neuter Surgery
Pet microchipping is a simple, painless procedure that can be easily added to spay and neuter surgery. Once a tiny electronic device is inserted just under their skin, your contact information will be updated in a database accessible to millions of veterinarians and animal control workers.
When you microchip your pet, you dramatically increase the chance they’ll be returned to you if the unimaginable happens. It only takes seconds for them to slip through a door or window accidentally left open, and gates sometimes aren’t as secure as you think. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, microchipped pets who found their way to U.S. animal shelters were returned home in much larger amounts than pets who were not microchipped.
