Pet Microchipping
Imagine if your dog or cat got lost. All it takes is a sudden thunderstorm, firecracker, an open door, or any number of other circumstances to facilitate a pet straying from home. Statistically, one in three pets will get lost during the course of their lifetime and 90% never make it back home. At Cumberland Animal Clinic, we take preventative measures to reduce that statistic.
Pet Microcipping
Collars and tags are important and helpful, but they can be removed and can fall off. Microchips are permanent. Microchips can be your lost pet’s ticket home.
Pet Microchipping
Microchipping is a safe, permanent way to identify your pet in case he or she becomes lost. A microchip is a tiny device about the size and shape of a grain of rice. The microchip is placed just under the loose skin at the back of the neck. When a lost dog or cat without an ID tag is found, a veterinarian, shelter employee, or animal control officer uses a handheld microchip scanner to check for a chip. If the pet has one, it will transmit its ID number to the scanner via a low-frequency radio wave. The veterinary hospital or shelter then calls the chip manufacturer, retrieves the pet owner’s contact information, and calls the owner.
We recommend that you use a microchip, a collar, and an ID tag to identify your pet. An ID tag is still a quick and reliable identification method. Pets that have tags with current contact information are more likely to not end up in shelters and tend to get home faster than those without tags. We want all of our pets to be in the 10% that do make it home, and a microchip can help make that a reality.
