By microchipping your pet/s:
· You give them a much HIGHER chance of being reunited with you if they happen to run away or get lost.
· You have proof of ownership against theft.
· They have permanent identification – unlike collars and tags which can be removed.
A tiny chip – about the size of a grain of rice – is implanted just under the skin between the shoulder blades at the back of your pet’s neck. Microchipping is a safe and simple procedure that causes very little discomfort to your pet.
How does it work?
Each chip has a unique number that is detected using a microchip scanner. The microchip number is recorded on a registry with details about the animal and owner, so if the unthinkable happens and your missing pet is found, veterinarians, shelters or local SPCA’s can scan the chip and get your contact details to reunite you with your pet.
All animals adopted from the SPCA are microchipped. However, if your pet is not yet microchipped then we recommend visit our SPCA to have your pet microchipped as soon as possible.
