Call Us Today for Microchipping!

Microchipping your pets is one of THE easiest steps you can take to help make sure you are reunited with your pet in the event it becomes lost.

When an animal is found and taken to a shelter or vet’s office, or picked up by animal control, it is scanned to see if it has a microchip. If it DOES have one, an owner is identified and contacted (providing the owner information is registered and current). The owner can then make arrangements to get their pet back. If the animal DOES NOT have a microchip, it is considered a stray. If taken into the shelter, the animal is vaccinated and further attempts are made to locate an owner. After the minimum 5 day stray hold required by law, if no owner is found, the animal is then scheduled for spay/neuter if not already altered and placed for adoption. Once an animal is adopted, it then legally belongs to the new adopter…EVEN if the past owner then comes forward.

This is a very stressful time for not only owners of lost pets, but for the pets as well. You can make an appointment with us to have your pet microchipped for only $20, helping to ensure that they will be returned quickly in the unfortunate event that they become missing.

Dogs that are microchipped are returned twice as often to their owners.

Cats that are microchipped are returned nineteen times as often.
