At Totalbond at Davidson, here in Mooresville, NC we recommend that every pet receive a microchip, a permanent identification that lasts their entire lifetime. If the unthinkable happens, we want to help provide a way for your pet to be reunited with you and your family by always having your information on them.
What Is A Pet Microchip?
It is a small electronic chip the size of a grain of rice. Microchips are activated by specific scanners that transmit an identification number that is displayed on the scanner's screen. A microchip is inserted under the skin using a needle. It takes a very small amount of time to administer a microchip. We can also do it with their spay or neuter.
Getting your pet microchipped can be intimidating, but we are here to ensure the process is quick and painless. It can be implanted during a routine veterinary office visit and doesn't take more than a few seconds. Usually, a distraction with a delicious treat will take your pet's mind off what is happening. A microchip can also be implanted while your pet is under anesthesia for a procedure, such as a spay or neuter. They will never know it happened.
Do Microchips Bring Pets Home?
Did you know cats with microchips are 20 times more likely to return home than cats without microchips? Do you have a dog? Dogs with microchips are 2.5 times more likely to be returned home than dogs with microchips.
We have had so many pets brought in by good samaritans that were found without any identification but when we scanned them their pet parent had gotten them microchipped, so it was an easy time getting them back to where they belong.
