Frequently Asked Questions
Are microchips permanent?
Yes! A microchip is a tiny, permanent ID for your pet. It requires no batteries and no maintenance—it simply sits safely under the skin, ready to be scanned.
Can I track my pet with the microchip, like a GPS?
No, that’s a very common question! A microchip isn’t a tracking device. Think of it as a permanent ID tag that links back to you. If your pet gets lost and is taken to a vet or shelter, they scan the chip to get your contact info and bring you back together.
How do I update my pet’s microchip info?
It’s easy! Just bring your pet in for an appointment. We can scan the chip to get the ID number and help you update your contact information in the database. This is the most important step to ensure a happy reunion if your pet ever gets lost.
