“It’s a small procedure that can have a huge difference in the outcome for your pet.”
The Importance of Microchipping Your Dog
– Identification and Recovery: A microchip is a tiny device implanted under your dog’s skin, which contains a unique identification number. – Ease of Recovery: If your dog is lost, a microchip makes it easier for shelters and veterinarians to identify and return them to you. – Cost-Effective: Compared to other forms of identification like collars with tags, microchipping is a one-time cost that can last a lifetime.
MACC calls the situation “heartbreaking” when they have a pet they know belongs to someone but can’t identify that owner.
