1 out of every 3 pets is lost sometime in its life. Unfortunately, many of these are never found. We have done tattoos for animals for many years, but due to no central registry for tattoos, it has never been a good technique for identification and finding lost pets. Microchiping your pet is the newest and best way of permanently identifying your pet. It is quick and easy and can be done while your wait or while your pet is receiving routine surgery such as a spay or neuter. The microchip that is inserted below the skin in your pet's neck can be picked up by a microchip scanner that is used by animal shelters across the nation and by other veterinarians. Please ask our staff about this valuable service and when it should be done.
