Pet Microchipping

Dog and Cat Microchipping in Columbia, SC

A microchip is a tiny device with a huge purpose. Implanted just under the skin, it stores a unique ID number that links to your contact info — which helps shelters and clinics reunite you with your pet if they ever get lost.

It’s quick, lasts a lifetime, and can be done during your pet’s routine wellness check — a little pinch for a whole lot of peace of mind.

How Pet Microchipping Works

The process is simple and fast. Here’s what to expect:

  1. A small chip (about the size of a grain of rice) is inserted under the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades.
  2. The procedure is quick and feels similar to a routine vaccination.
  3. Your pet’s chip is registered with your contact information in a national database.

No batteries. No GPS. Just reliable, permanent ID that can’t get lost like a collar or tag.

Why Pet Microchipping Matters

Every year, thousands of pets go missing, and many never make it back home. But pets with microchips are far more likely to be reunited with their families for the simple reason that they can always be identified.

By microchipping your pet, you’re giving them:

  • Permanent identification
  • Improved chance of recovery if lost
  • Safety for life, with no maintenance required
  • A common prerequisite for travel, boarding, or adoption

This basic chip is one of the most loving things you can do for your furry escape artist.
