Pet Microchipping
for Dogs & Cats

Safe, permanent pet identification for dogs and cats.

Protection That Stays
With Them

Collars and tags can fall off, but a pet microchip stays with your dog or cat for life. Microchipping is a safe, simple way to ensure your pet can be identified and returned to you if they’re ever lost.

At PetVet365, we make dog and cat microchipping quick and easy to add to any visit.

Why Microchipping Matters

Even indoor pets can slip out unexpectedly. A microchip provides a permanent identification that can help greatly increases the chances of a safe return.

Benefits of microchipping include:

  • Permanent ID that can’t fall off or removed
  • A better chance of being reunited with your pet if they’re lost
  • Quick identification at veterinary clinics and shelters
  • A simple, one-time procedure with lifelong benefit
  • Added peace of mind for pet parents

How Pet Microchipping Works

A microchip is a tiny device, about the size of a grain of rice, that’s placed just beneath your pet’s skin. The chip contains a unique ID number linked to your contact information in a secure database.

If your pet is found, a veterinary clinic or shelter can scan the chip and contact you directly.

What to Expect During the Microchipping Process

Microchipping is a quick, routine procedure that can be added to a wellness exam or scheduled on its own.

 Here’s what to expect:

  • The microchip is placed just beneath the skin, typically between the shoulder blades
  • The process only takes a few seconds
  • No surgery or anesthesia is required
  • Most pets respond similarly to a routine vaccine

We’ll also help you register your pet’s microchip and make sure your contact information is up to date, because a microchip only works if it’s properly registered.
