Pet Microchipping

Considering that only 17% of lost dogs and 2% of lost cats make it back to their owners, the fear you may never see your friend again is a genuine possibility. Microchipping your pet makes it much more likely your cat or dog will be returned to you! Unlike collars and tags, microchips cannot fall off and get lost. They serve as permanent identification for a pet’s entire life.

The process is highly affordable and simple: a veterinary technician injects the tiny chip between your pet’s shoulder blades. Inserting the chip is virtually painless, and many microchip manufacturers include reunification services as part of their service.

PET MICROCHIPPING IN CUMBERLAND, ME

At Westside Animal Hospital, we believe in practical solutions that enhance your pets’ well-being, and microchipping offers added protection for your furry companions. It’s a simple yet highly effective means of identification, ensuring your pet’s safety throughout their lifetime of adventures.

WHAT IS PET MICROCHIPPING?

Pet microchipping involves a painless procedure where a tiny microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is inserted beneath your pet’s skin. This chip holds a unique identification number that can be scanned by a handheld device, linking to your contact information in a national pet registry.

THE PROCESS

Our compassionate veterinarians prioritize your pets’ comfort. They implant the microchip between your pet’s shoulder blades, a procedure akin to a routine vaccination. Taking only a few moments, most pets hardly react, providing lifelong identification.

WHEN IS PET MICROCHIPPING NECESSARY?

We recommend pet microchipping for all pets, irrespective of size or breed. It’s particularly crucial for outdoor pets or those prone to wandering. Additionally, if you plan to travel with your pet, many airlines and countries require microchipping as part of their identification protocols.

Considering the alarming statistics where only a small percentage of lost pets are reunited with their owners, microchipping significantly increases the chances of a reunion. Unlike collars and tags, microchips don’t get lost and serve as permanent identification for your pet’s lifetime.
