Pet Microchipping in Chesapeake, VA

Pet microchipping is a crucial step in ensuring the safety and security of your furry friend. This simple procedure involves implanting a small microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, under your pet’s skin. The microchip contains a unique identification number that can be used to quickly reunite lost pets with their owners.

Reliable Pet Microchip Services for Permanent ID

At Barker Animal Hospital in Chesapeake, VA, we believe a microchip is the best tool to help a lost pet find its way home. The device is about the size of a grain of rice. We implant it in the tissue under your pet’s skin. This permanent ID stays with your pet for life.

Even if your pet loses its collar or ID tag, the electronic number on the chip can identify them. A searchable national database records and retrieves a lost pet owner’s information.

A microchip works only if you keep your registration details current in the database. Without up-to-date information, a microchip may not reunite a lost pet with their owner. We encourage every Chesapeake, VA, pet owner to keep their contact details current.

Placement is simple and similar to a routine vaccination. Most pets need no sedation for the procedure. To ease any discomfort, our team may apply an ice pack or a topical anesthetic to the area first. Call us at 757-410-5533 to ask about this potentially life-saving device. Book an appointment with our Chesapeake, VA team today.
