Pet Microchipping

Route 516 Animal Hospital Pet Microchipping

At Route 516 Animal Hospital, we believe in the importance of microchipping your pet. A microchip is a tiny device that is implanted under the skin of your pet. The chip contains a unique ID number that can be read by a special scanner. If your pet is lost, a shelter or vet office can scan the microchip and contact you to reunite you with your pet. We offer microchipping services for both dogs and cats. The microchip itself is about the size of a grain of rice and is inserted just under the skin with a needle. The procedure is quick and relatively painless, and it could be the key to finding your lost pet. Call us today to schedule an appointment for microchipping.
