Microchips are one of the best ways to ensure your pet returns safely home in the unfortunate event they become lost.  This small piece of technology provides your pet with a secure and reliable means of identification.  Here are a few FAQ for pet parents.

Microchip FAQ:

Will My Pet Feel the Microchip? 
No, microchips won't hurt your pet anymore than a routine vaccination.  The microchip implant doesn't even require anesthetic.  It's a quick and simple procedure.

Do Microchips Tell Your Pets Location?
Microchips do not work like a GPS.  Instead, they just provide permanent ID for your pet.  When a scanner is passed over your pet, the microchip gets enough power from the scanner to transfer the ID number.

Why Does Your Pet Need a Microchip?
Even if your pet wear a collar with tags, it's still important to have a microchip.  Collar tags can fall off or become worn and difficult to read.  Microchips provide permanent identification.
