Pet Microchipping in West Hollywood, CA

Losing a pet is a stressful experience full of uncertainty, and unfortunately, it’s nearly impossible to fully prevent your pet from ever running off. But by having your pets microchipped, you’ll have a far more reliable way for your pets to eventually be reunited with you. Unlike collars and tags that can fall off or become damaged, a pet microchip is a permanent form of identification that stays with your pet for life, meaning that when your microchipped pet is found by a veterinarian or shelter, they can be quickly identified and brought back home.

How Pet Microchipping Works

Pet microchipping is a simple and safe procedure. A microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted just under the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades. This process takes only a few minutes and is similar to a routine vaccination. The microchip contains a unique identification number that is linked to your contact information in a national pet recovery database.

Benefits of Pet Microchips

Microchipping offers several advantages for pet owners:

  • Permanent Identification: Unlike collars or tags, a microchip cannot be lost or removed.
  • Quick and Painless Procedure: Implantation is safe and completed in minutes.
  • Nationwide Pet Recovery: Veterinary hospitals, animal shelters, and animal control offices across the country have scanners that can read microchips.
  • Increases the Chance of Reuniting with Your Pet: Microchipped pets are significantly more likely to be returned to their owners.

When to Consider Pet Microchipping

Microchipping is recommended for all pets, regardless of age or lifestyle. Even indoor pets can accidentally escape and become lost. Young puppies and kittens can be microchipped safely, and adult pets can benefit from microchipping at any time.

What Happens if Your Pet Goes Missing?

If a lost pet is found and brought to a veterinary clinic or animal shelter, staff can scan the microchip to retrieve the unique ID number. By calling the pet recovery database, they can access the owner’s contact information and quickly reunite the pet with their family.
