To Microchip or Not

Discussing the benefits of the micro-chipping your pet.

Micro-chipping has been debated for some time and in our opinion it's a no brainer.  Show your pet a little more love by micro-chipping them. 

What is a micro-chip? A micro-chip is a tiny device that has either your vets or your personal information (name, address & phone number) registered; it has several identifying numbers that a scanner will pick up when run across the pets body. 

A veterinarian or rescue organization will implant the micro-chip into the middle of the shoulder blade of the skin of the pet (cat, dog). There's no pain, discomfort or bruising to the animal.
