Your pet may want to roam outdoors or get out of the house periodically. Microchipping is a tool used to help if your pet goes missing. With this procedure, you can enjoy your pet’s company for many years to come.
Our veterinarians in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL offer microchipping at the newly-opened Sea Oats Animal Hospital. Learn more about how it can help you and your pet.
What Is Microchipping?
Microchipping is an alternative to traditional pet identification options, like pet collars and tags, offering a way to get essential data about a pet’s owner and address. An embedded microchip connected to a unique barcode can help your pet be quickly identified.
Why Get Microchipping for Your Pet
Did you know microchipping increases the likelihood that you can be reconnected with a separated or missing pet? You may not realize how easily traditional pet identification can be removed. Such items often do not provide adequate information and collars can loosen, fall off, or be purposely taken off. In comparison, microchipping is a permanent solution to ensure your pet’s safety during its lifetime.
Pet owners should register the chip and update contact information as needed. Should a pet go missing, it is then easy for shelter or veterinary clinic associates to scan for a chip and contact you immediately. Contact our team at Sea Oats Animal Hospital to get started.
How Easy Is the Procedure
It is a minimally invasive procedure for your pet. Your veterinarian will inject a rice-sized microchip under an area of your pet’s skin. The microchip is associated with a bar code and pet owners include up-to-date contact details in a microchip registry. This is a quick in-office procedure producing little, if any discomfort, for your pet while providing you with peace of mind.
