Microchipping
At Perimeter Veterinary Center in Shawnee, KS, we understand the importance of keeping your pet safe and secure. That’s why we offer comprehensive pet microchipping services to help reunite lost pets with their loving families.
Understanding Pet Microchipping
Pet microchipping is a quick and effective way to ensure your pet’s identification if they become lost. The microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades and contains a unique identification number. When scanned by a veterinary clinic or animal shelter, this number helps access your contact information, making it easier to reunite you with your pet.
Microchipping is recommended for pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes as a permanent form of identification that cannot be lost like a collar or tag. It offers peace of mind, especially for pets that spend time outdoors or are prone to wandering. In some areas, such as Shawnee, KS, microchipping may even be a legal requirement for pet owners.
