What is Microchipping?

Pet microchipping in Augusta is a simple and safe procedure in which a small microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under a pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. This microchip contains a unique identification number that can be read by a scanner.

When a lost pet is found and taken to a veterinarian or animal shelter, the chip can be scanned, and the identification number can be used to retrieve the owner’s contact information from a pet recovery database. This helps reunite lost pets with their owners quickly and efficiently.

Quick, Painless, and Long Lasting

Microchipping is a quick and painless procedure that can be done during a routine visit or as part of a spaying/neutering procedure.

Once implanted, the microchip requires no maintenance and offers a lifetime of protection for your pet.

Don’t Take the Risk

Even if your pet lives inside full-time, there is always a chance that they may scurry out an open door or jump out of your arms on the way to the car.

Microchipping in Augusta will ensure that in a stressful situation such as that, you can be sure that anyone who finds your beloved friend will be able to contact you.
