Your pet ran outside, and now you can’t find them.
Losing a pet is every owner’s worst nightmare. Microchipping gives pets a reliable, permanent form of identification that can bring them home safely. easyvet Allen offers quick and effective microchipping services to give pet owners peace of mind. If your pet ever goes missing in Allen, TX or around the country, a microchip greatly increases the chances of a safe reunion.
The Microchip Process and Your Pet
Microchipping is a simple and safe procedure that can be done in just a few minutes. During the process, a tiny microchip is inserted just beneath the skin of your companion, usually between the shoulder blades. This can be performed during any routine visit. No anesthesia is required for a microchip procedure, but for an entirely pain-free experience, microchipping can also be performed while your pet is under anesthesia for a dental cleaning or surgery like a neuter. Once the chip is implanted, it will need to be registered in a national database so your contact information is linked to your pet’s unique ID number.
If your pet is ever lost, any veterinary clinic or shelter can scan the microchip, retrieve your contact details, and reunite you with your pet as quickly as possible.
Why would my pet need a microchip if they already have a GPS collar?
While GPS collars and smart tags are excellent tools for tracking your pet in real time, they aren’t foolproof. Cats and dogs can slip out of collars, and GPS devices require batteries and a network connection to function. A pet microchip, on the other hand, is:
- Permanent: It stays with your pet for life and cannot be lost or easily removed.
- Reliable: No batteries or subscription fees are required.
- Universally Recognized: Shelters and veterinary clinics routinely scan for microchips.
Even if your pet wears a collar daily, a microchip serves as a critical backup so that they always have a form of ID, no matter the circumstances.
