Microchipping  

Microchip Identification for Pets

Microchip identification is a reliable method used daily to reunite approximately 8,000 lost pets with their owners. This procedure ensures peace of mind by enabling quick and secure pet recovery.

• Importance: Microchips are the most reliable means to identify lost pets and facilitate their safe return home.
• Procedure: A small microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under the skin between the pet's shoulder blades in a safe and straightforward veterinary procedure. It lasts for the pet's entire life and contains a unique barcode linked to your contact information.
• Benefits: Suitable for pets of any age, microchipping provides permanent identification, essential even for indoor pets that may accidentally venture outside.
• Recovery Process: Animal care facilities use specialized scanners to detect the microchip. Once found, they contact a dedicated hotline linked to the microchip database, ensuring prompt notification and reunion with the pet's owner.
