Queen Creek Microchips for Vets at Revel Vet

According to the Animal Humane Society, one in three pets go missing in their lifetime. This is equivalent to about 10 million missing pets each year in the United States alone. Unfortunately, many of these pets aren’t reconnected with their families. 

The reasons for this can vary, including pets getting lost during outings, escaping from the home due to factors like fear or curiosity, or even being stolen. Without proper identification, like microchips and tags, reuniting these lost pets with their families becomes significantly more challenging.

Pet microchipping is a modern method of pet identification. It involves implanting a tiny chip under your pet’s skin. This chip carries a unique identification number. The unique identification number on the chip is registered in a national database with the pet owner’s contact details. When scanned with a microchip reader, this number is displayed. 

According to a study conducted by Ohio State University, microchipping your pet greatly increases the odds of reunification. The return rate is 20 times higher for lost cats and 2.5 times higher for lost dogs. 

Although this isn’t an extensive, time-consuming procedure, a fear-free approach can make a world of difference to your pet.

Do Microchips Come With a GPS?

A microchip is not a GPS tracker. It doesn’t provide real-time location data. It serves as a permanent form of identification, and remains functional even if collars or tags are lost.

How Many Times Do Pets Need Microchipped in Their Lifetime?

Unless the microchip gets misplaced in the body, microchipping is a one-time procedure. Once the chip is implanted, it lasts for your pet’s entire life. This makes it a cost-effective solution for long-term pet identification.

Remember to register the microchip and keep your contact information up-to-date. This is crucial for the microchip to serve its purpose in case your pet gets lost.
