The Importance of Pet Microchipping

Pets are a beloved and cherished family member for many people. A worry many of us have is our pet wandering off and becoming lost. While collars and ID tags provide some identification for your pet, these can become worn or damaged. Fortunately, pet microchipping at Pet-Agrees Wellness Services in Gordonsville, TN, offers a reliable and permanent solution to reuniting lost pets with their owners. Learn more about the importance of this preventative pet care approach below.

What Is Microchipping?

Microchipping is a safe and permanent pet identification method. Our veterinarians insert a tiny chip beneath your pet's skin, usually between the shoulder blades, that shelters and other animal clinics can scan. This chip contains a unique identification number to help people identify you as your pet’s owner. Unlike collars and ID tags, microchips cannot fall off or break. The microchipping process is quick and painless for your pet.

Increased Chance of Reuniting With Your Lost Pet

Microchipped pets are much more likely to get identified and reunited with their owners when compared to pets without microchips. Although collars and ID tags offer some level of identification for pets, these carry drawbacks that dog or cat microchipping completely bypasses. Collars often get torn and fall off, and ID tags can become damaged. On the other hand, microchips permanently remain under your pet’s skin. Shelters and animal clinics carry microchip scanners, meaning you are much more likely to have your pet identified and returned to you if it gets lost.

Ensuring Peace of Mind for Pet Owners

Microchipping offers pet owners invaluable peace of mind. Knowing that your lost pet has a significantly higher chance of being returned to you is a powerful advantage. This can drastically reduce the stress and heartache associated with a lost pet.
