Pet Microchipping in Incline Village, NV
Every year, millions of pets go missing, and many never return home. At Incline Veterinary Hospital in Incline Village, NV, we offer pet microchipping services to provide a permanent, reliable form of identification for your pet. With a microchip, you can greatly increase the chances of being reunited with your pet if they become lost.
What is Pet Microchipping?
Pet microchipping is a simple and effective method of permanently identifying your pet. A microchip is a small device about the size of a grain of rice that contains a unique identification number. This microchip is implanted under your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades, using a quick, minimally invasive procedure. The microchip does not require a battery and lasts for your pet’s lifetime.
Once implanted, the microchip can be scanned by veterinarians, animal shelters, and animal control officers to retrieve your pet’s information, including your contact details, in the event your pet is found.
Benefits of Pet Microchipping
Pet microchipping offers several benefits for both pets and owners, including:
- Permanent Identification: Unlike collars and tags, a microchip is always with your pet, even if they lose their collar.
- Increased Chance of Reunification: Pets with microchips are far more likely to be returned to their owners. In fact, a microchip greatly increases the chances of reuniting with a lost pet.
- Simple and Quick Procedure: The microchipping process is quick, with minimal pain or discomfort for your pet.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your pet has permanent identification provides peace of mind, especially during travel or outdoor activities.
Ensure your pet is protected with permanent identification. Contact Incline Veterinary Hospital today to book appointment for pet microchipping.
When is Pet Microchipping Necessary?
While microchipping can be done at any time during your pet’s life, we recommend it during important routine visits, such as:
- During Spaying or Neutering: If you are scheduling your pet for spaying or neutering, this is an excellent time to have the microchip implanted.
- During a Wellness Exam: If your pet is due for a routine wellness check, you can have the microchip implanted at the same time.
- Adoption or New Pet Acquisition: If you’ve recently adopted a pet, having them microchipped can ensure they are easily identifiable.
It’s crucial to keep your contact information up to date in the pet microchip registry. Whenever your contact details change, be sure to update them so that you can be reached if your pet is found.
