FACTS

What are microchips?

• They are tiny computer chips, about the size of a grain of rice.
• They are implanted just under an animal’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades. The process is similar to getting a vaccination.
• They hold information such as the owner’s name and phone number, similar to a dog tag, but much more reliable!

Why should YOU microchip your pet?

• 1 in 3 pets will become lost in their lifetime.
• Microchipped pets have a higher rate of return to their families when lost.
• Microchips help protect against animal theft.
