Pet Microchipping
One tiny chip can be a lifesaver. Have your pet microchipped at VetField Animal Hospital in Ft Lauderdale to help ensure they can always find their way home if lost.
Permanent Identification
What Is Pet Microchipping, and Why Is It Important?
Pet microchipping involves placing a small electronic chip under your pet’s skin. This chip carries a unique ID number that links to your contact information through a national database. Unlike collars or tags, microchips can’t fall off or get lost.
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, microchipped dogs are over twice as likely to be returned home, and cats are 20 times more likely.
Our Pet Microchipping Process
Microchipping your pet is one of the simplest things you can do to protect their safety — and we make the process easy, fast, and comfortable for everyone involved:
Check-In and Exam
Whether you’re here for a wellness exam or a mobile visit, microchipping can be added during your pet’s appointment with no extra stress.
Chip Placement
The microchip is inserted just beneath the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades using a small, sterile needle. Most pets don’t even flinch — it feels like a routine vaccination.
Registration
We complete the registration on your behalf, ensuring your contact info is stored in a national database.
Confirmation
We scan the chip to confirm proper placement and give you all the details to manage your pet’s info going forward.
This quick and easy process gives your pet a lifetime of protection.
