Neighborhood Veterinary Center Offers Pet Microchipping in Hallandale Beach, FL

There are several key things all dog and cat owners need to know about having a furry friend. One of those things is understanding the importance of getting your pet microchipped as soon as possible. The veterinarians at Hallandale Neighborhood Veterinary Center would like to share five essential facts that you need to know about this important responsibility.

1. Microchipping is easy and fast. The entire process of microchipping your pet takes only a few minutes and can be done in the vet’s office. A small microchip is inserted under the skin of your pet and it is coded to have your contact information on it, like an ID card for your pet that they can’t lose.
2. The process is not painful for your pet. Most microchipping is done with a simple needle injection and does not cause your pet any real pain. There may be some irritation at the site for a short time afterward but there are no long-term side effects that you will need to worry about.
3. It helps you find your pet. The main reason veterinarians want people to have their pets microchipped is that it will help you be reunited with them in the event they become lost. Any veterinarian can scan for a chip and get the information so it is easier than ever for someone to contact you if they find your pet.
4. Microchips save pet’s lives. Far too many pets end up in shelters because their owners cannot be located promptly. When you have your pet microchipped, you are making sure that there is an easy way that someone can know who you are who your pet is. It may even save their lives if they get lost.
5. Your family can have peace-of-mind. Such a simple and affordable step that takes only a few minutes can help you and your family rest at ease. You’ll know that if anything unfortunate happens, you can be easily reunited with your furry family member once again.
