Understanding Pet Microchipping
Pet microchipping is a simple and effective way to ensure your pet’s identification in case they become lost or separated from you.
A microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted just beneath your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. This tiny device contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by a microchip reader, allowing veterinary clinics, animal shelters, and animal control officers to access your contact information and reunite you with your pet.

When to Consider Pet Microchipping
Pet microchipping is recommended for pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes. It’s a simple and affordable way to protect your pet and increase the likelihood of a happy reunion if they ever become lost. Microchipping is especially important for pets who:
- Spend time outdoors unsupervised
- Travel frequently
- Are prone to wandering or escaping
Why Choose Pet Microchipping?
- Permanent Identification: Unlike collars and tags, which can become lost or removed, a microchip provides permanent identification for your pet.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your pet has a microchip gives you peace of mind, knowing they have a better chance of being returned to you if they ever become lost.
- Legal Requirement: In many areas, including Shawnee, KS, microchipping may be a legal requirement for pet owners. It’s essential to comply with local regulations to avoid fines or penalties.
