Microchipping Services
The thought of your pet going missing is no doubt a frightening one. Unfortunately, dogs and cats go missing every day. If your furry friend is ever lost or stolen, you’re much more likely to see them again if they're microchipped. While a collar can get snagged on a fence and identification tags can fall off, microchipping provides permanent identification that animal rescuers can use to reunite you with your beloved companion. At VetCheck Pet Urgent Care Center, we offer microchipping in Bloomington, and thanks to our convenient hours and walk-in services, getting your pet chipped is easier than you might think!
How It Works
Microchipping a dog or cat is a fast, minimally invasive process. It takes mere seconds, and the procedure feels similar to getting a shot. We use a needle to insert the microchip, which is about the size of a grain of rice, just beneath the skin, typically between the shoulder blades. We choose this area because there are fewer nerve endings.
Each microchip contains an identification. This number is linked to your information in a private database, and you can easily update this information when you move or change phone numbers by going online or contacting the chip’s manufacturer. If your lost pet is found and brought into a veterinarian’s office, shelter, etc., they’ll be scanned for a chip. Once one is detected, the scanner displays the identification number, which an employee will use to look up your contact information.
