Microchip Identification

Microchip Identification Services in Jacksonville

This unique form of identification is an easy, yet permanent way to bring your pet home quickly should they become lost. The microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size and shape of a grain of rice. It is implanted beneath your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades and stays there for their entire life. This procedure is as easy and as painless as a vaccination.

How Does a Microchip Help Me Find a Lost Pet?

Each microchip has a unique number. This number, along with information about the owner and pet, are added to a national pet registry. Most veterinary hospitals and animal shelters have electronic scanners for detecting and reading these implanted microchips. If a lost pet is found and a microchip is scanned, it is easy for you to be contacted and reunited with your pet.
