Pet Microchips
Pet Microchipping in St. Paul, MN
A Safe, Permanent Way to Protect Your Pet
Even the most careful pet owners can experience a moment when a pet slips out—whether through an open door, a loose fence, or during a walk. It happens more often than you might think.
While collars and ID tags are helpful, they can fall off, become damaged, or be removed. Microchipping offers a more reliable, permanent form of identification that stays with your pet for life.
A microchip provides a secure way to link your contact information directly to your pet, increasing the chances of a safe return if they ever become lost. It’s a simple step that offers lasting peace of mind—helping ensure your pet can always find their way back home.
How Cat & Dog Microchips Work
Simple, safe identification that lasts a lifetime
A microchip is a tiny device—about the size of a grain of rice—that is placed just under your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. The process is quick and similar to a routine vaccination, causing minimal discomfort.
Unlike collars or ID tags, a microchip has no battery and does not wear out, making it a permanent form of identification.
If your pet is ever lost and brought to a veterinary clinic or animal shelter, a scanner can quickly read the microchip’s unique ID number. That number is then used to access a secure database, which links your pet to your contact information—helping reunite you as quickly as possible.
When your pet is microchipped, we’ll help you register your contact details in the database. Keeping this information up to date is essential—if you move, change your phone number, or transfer ownership, be sure to update your registration so your pet can always find their way back home.
