Microchipping

We are proud to offer microchipping services for dogs and cats. A microchip is a small capsule about the size of a grain of rice that contains a unique identification number. This chip is inserted under your pet’s skin during a quick and painless procedure. If your pet gets lost or is stolen, they can be easily identified through the microchip and reunited with you for your great relief !

In addition to being an essential way to locate your lost pet, microchipping offers many benefits:

• Travel: Many countries require pets to be microchipped for travel.
• Pet Insurance: Some pet insurance companies offer discounts for microchipped animals.
• Proof of Ownership: A microchip can serve as proof of ownership in case of disputes.

Is microchipping painful for my pet?

The insertion of a microchip is generally a quick, simple, and minimally painful process for your pet. Most animals experience only a slight, temporary discomfort at the time of the injection, with no lasting pain.

Our team will take all necessary measures to minimize your pet’s discomfort, such as:

• Using a gentle and quick injection technique.
• Applying a topical anesthetic cream (if needed).
• Choosing a less sensitive injection site, like the area between the shoulder blades.
• Distracting the animal with petting or treats.

What happens if my pet loses their microchip?

Microchips do not move and cannot be lost, ensuring permanent protection for your pet.

Are there any side effects to microchipping?

Side effects from microchipping are rare and usually mild. Some animals may experience slight pain or redness at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few hours. If you notice any more serious side effects in your pet, please contact us
