Pet Microchipping

A Safe and Permanent Pet Identification Solution

Microchipping is a quick and virtually painless procedure that involves placing a tiny chip just beneath your pet’s skin. This chip is encoded with your contact information and registered in a national pet recovery database.

Whether you’re looking to microchip your dog or schedule a chip for your adventurous feline, the process is the same: safe, non-invasive, and long-lasting. It’s one of the most reliable forms of permanent pet identification.

How Pet Microchipping Works

In the event your pet becomes lost, any veterinary clinic or animal shelter equipped with a microchip scanner can retrieve the chip’s unique ID and access your contact information. This pet recovery service dramatically increases the likelihood of a quick and safe reunion.

Unlike collars or tags, which can fall off or be removed, a microchip is always there, providing your pet with a lifelong link back to you.

Why Microchipping Matters

  • Offers lost pet ID that can’t be lost or damaged
  • Helps reduce the number of unclaimed pets in shelters
  • Required by many shelters and rescues before adoption
  • Recommended for both cats and dogs—even if they live indoors

At Countryside Animal Hospital, we’re proud to offer this essential layer of protection through our trusted vet microchipping service.
