1. What Is Pet Microchipping?

Pet microchipping involves implanting a tiny, rice-sized chip just beneath your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades. This chip contains a unique identification number linked to your contact details in a secure database. Unlike collars or tags that can get lost, a microchip offers permanent, tamper-proof identification for your pet.
