3 Reasons Why Every Pet Owner Should Have Their Pet Microchipped

No matter whether you live near a busy road, in the middle of a vast wilderness, or in a quiet suburb, you may worry about your pet slipping out an open door and becoming lost. However, with the aid of a microchip, you can greatly increase your chances of a happy reunion. Here are three reasons why you should schedule an appointment to have your pet microchipped.

#1: Microchipping a pet is a simple process

A microchip is no bigger than a grain of rice, and is inserted just beneath the skin between your pet's shoulder blades. The process is similar to administering a vaccination, although the needle is slightly larger.

#2: A microchip is more reliable than a collar identification tag

Worn or illegible tags are common problems, which means collar ID tags are not the most reliable identification method. In contrast, a microchip is a permanent identification form. With no moving parts and nothing that requires power, a microchip will last the life of your pet.

#3: Microchipping causes minimal discomfort

While a pet may wince or yelp when a microchip is inserted, the process is no different than administering a vaccination. The discomfort is minimal and short-lived.
