Our Veterinarians recommend that all cats and dogs receive identification micro-chips. These chips are tiny, rice-sized devices that contain valuable identification information to help your lost pet find its way home.

During an office call, the chips are easily implanted under the skin and remain as a permanent means to identify your pet. The chips are readable with a small hand-held scanner that allows the information to be retrieved rapidly, and lets your pet be traced back to your home.

It is an unfortunate fact of life that pets get lost and that most of them are not reunited with their families. Because veterinarians and animal shelters routinely scan for micro-chips, your pet has a much better chance of being returned to you if they carry a micro-chip.
