What This Service Does
A microchip is a small permanent ID placed under the skin. It does not track a pet, but it gives shelters and veterinary clinics a way to identify the pet and contact the registered owner if the pet is found.
Why It Matters
For pets, a registered microchip gives them a stronger way home if a collar or tag is lost.
For owners, microchipping adds a backup form of identification that can stay with the pet for life.
For shelters and clinics, reliable identification can shorten the time a lost pet spends away from home.
What to Know Before You Come
The microchip must be registered with current contact information to work well.
If your phone number or address changes, update the microchip registration.
Microchips are available for dogs and cats through PETS Clinic locations based on clinic service availability.
