Microchipping

Microchipping Your Pet At Our Livonia Animal Hospital

At Sheehy Animal Hospital in Livonia, MI,  we understand a lost pet can be heartbreaking. The answer to preventing that heartache is microchipping your animal. The process is quite simple, and our veterinarians encourage pet owners to consider having this procedure done as soon as possible. Here is some information about microchipping.

Microchipping a Pet is Simple 

A veterinarian inserts a small chip in between the shoulder blade of an animal. The microchip itself does not require any power source, and is only effective if your pet is found and brought to a veterinary clinic or shelter where the staff can scan for a chip. This is a great alternative to collars and tags since they can wear or fall off over time.

The process is simple. Our veterinarian registers the microchip into a national database and enters your contact information. Afterward, our vet will use a syringe to insert the chip under your pet’s skin. Your pet will only feel a small pinch, just like when he or she is getting a vaccine shot.

Microchipping a pet is cost-effective and gives you a peace of mind knowing that your pet can be returned back to you.
