Microchips

MICROCHIPPING IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE AT ANY OF 1ST CARE’S MOBILE CLINICS:

What is a microchip and how does it work?

A microchip is a small device about the size of a grain of rice that is implanted beneath your pet’s skin. It contains a unique number used to identify the animal. This number links to your contact information in an online registry that allows shelters, clinics, veterinarians, and humane organizations to contact you if your lost pet is found. The microchip itself does not store your contact information.

A pet microchip is not a GPS or tracking device. You cannot get information on a lost pet’s location directly from the microchip. It is only when your lost pet is found, scanned, and searched in an online registry that someone will be able to contact you. This is why it is critical to keep your contact information current in an online microchip registry.
