How It Works
During a microchipping procedure, one of our Alpharetta vets injects a tiny chip, roughly the size of a grain of rice, beneath an animal’s skin. The chip contains information that can be used to identify the animal and its owner in case the pet becomes lost. This information is stored in a database that can be accessed by animal shelters, veterinarians, and other authorized personnel.
The process of microchipping your pet is quick and relatively painless. A veterinary professional will insert the chip beneath your pet's skin using a needle—much like getting a shot—and then register the chip's unique ID number with a national database. Once that's done, your pet's information will be readily available should they ever become lost.
To keep your pet's information up-to-date, be sure to update your contact information with the microchip registrar any time you move or change phone numbers.
