What is a microchip (microchipping)?

Updated over 10 months ago

A microchip is a small electronic device, about the size of a grain of rice, that’s implanted under your pet’s skin—usually between the shoulder blades.

Each microchip has a unique ID number that can be read by a microchip scanner. This number links to your contact details in a pet database, helping reunite you with your pet if they ever get lost.

The process of microchipping is quick, safe, and lasts for your pet’s lifetime.
