Pets Get Lost. Pet Microchipping Helps.

1 in 3 pets will become lost during its lifetime. According to the American Humane Society, only about 155 of lost dogs and 25 of lost cats ever find their way back home. Almost 4 million pets are euthanized every year - including lost pets whose owners weren't found in time. Microchips for dogs and cats can help.

What is a microchip?

A microchip is a tiny transponder, about the size of a grain of rice that is encoded with a unique identification number. It is used for permanent identification in pets. The technology is relatively recent, but is becoming widely available.

How is the microchip put into my dog?

Before insertion, the sterile microchip is scanned in the package to confirm that the identification code of the transponder is the same as that shown on the package bar code label.

The needle containing the microchip is loaded into the application gun or syringe, and the pet is positioned for the injection. For dogs and cats, the standard site for microchip placement is in the subcutaneous tissue along the dorsal midline (the spine) between the pet's shoulder blades. For correct placement, the pet should be either standing or lying on the stomach. Some of the loose skin between the shoulder blades is gently pulled up, and the needle is quickly inserted. The applicator trigger is squeezed, injecting the transponder or microchip into the tissues. After insertion, the pet is scanned to ensure that the chip is reading properly.

Does it hurt to insert the chip?

The procedure is fast, safe, and appears to be relatively pain-free in most pets. The chips are usually inserted without incident, even in the tiniest kittens and puppies. The application needle is quite large, and some clients will choose to have the microchip implanted at the time of sterilization, so that the pet can be anesthetized for the injection. However, this is not necessary, and the microchip can be implanted at any time that is convenient.
