Microchipping is a simple and quick procedure that can make a world of difference in ensuring your pet’s safety. This tiny chip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted just beneath your pet’s skin and contains a unique identification number. Once registered in a national database linked to your contact information, this number serves as a vital link between you and your pet.
Contrary to common misconceptions, pet microchips do not contain personal data. Instead, they act as a permanent form of pet ID. When a lost or stray animal is brought to a shelter or veterinary clinic, a scanner is used to detect the microchip. The unique identification number is revealed upon scanning, allowing authorities to access your contact details and facilitate a swift reunion with your pet.
