Microchipping
Microchips Increase the Chance of Reuniting with a Lost Pet
Welcome to Galilee Veterinary Hospital, where our caring team of veterinarians believes that every tail wag and loving purr deserves to be protected. As committed pet parents, we understand the joy and unconditional love that our pets bring to our lives. We offer microchips and microchip scanning to help increase the chance of your pet being returned if lost.
The Importance of Microchipping
Pet microchipping is important for your pet’s safety. Collars and ID tags are recommended, but they can be lost or removed, leaving your pet vulnerable. Microchipping offers an extra layer of protection and is widely utilized across the nation. A tiny microchip, approximately the size of a grain of rice, is inserted under the skin, holding a unique identifying number connected to your contact information.
At Galilee Veterinary Hospital, we recognize that accidents happen and pets can become lost. Microchipping provides peace of mind by considerably boosting the odds of a happy reunion if your beloved pet goes missing.
The Benefits of Microchipping
Here are some of the primary advantages that microchipping offers:
Reunification:
A microchip serves as a safety net, boosting the chances of reuniting with your pet if they go missing. When your lost pet is found, you can be readily reached with up-to-date contact information.
Secure Identification:
Unlike collars or tags, which may be removed or damaged, a microchip stays firmly in place, providing a reliable form of identification for the life of your pet. It reduces the possibility of your pet being confused with another animal and aids in preventing theft.
Quick and Affordable:
Microchipping is a quick procedure that can be performed during a routine veterinary visit.
Universal Compatibility:
Most animal shelters and veterinary clinics worldwide can read microchips, ensuring seamless identification wherever your pet may be discovered. This compatibility extends beyond geographical bounds, protecting you and your pet wherever life takes you.
Lifetime Protection:
Once your pet is microchipped, the information is stored in a secure database. As long as you keep your contact details up to date, your pet remains protected for life, offering long-term peace of mind.
