Millions of Pets get lost each year, increase your odds of being reunited with a microchip implant
Sadly, millions of pets get lost each year, and without an ID, 90% don't return home1. While a pet owner's first line of defense is a collar with their pet's name and contact information on pet tags, it is possible that these items can be lost or removed.

to increase the chances that you and your pet will be reunited in the event that
they are lost. The microchip is inserted between the shoulder blades with a needle
and can easily be done at anytime, but is commonly performed at the time of spay/
neuter.
If a lost pet is brought to a shelter, animal control facility, or veterinarian’s office, they will be scanned for the presence of a microchip. The code on the microchip is linked to a database that has the pet owner's contact information. This tiny chip has saved many lost pets lives; please ask our staff about getting your pet microchipped today.
