    Why Choose Sanatoga Animal Hospital for Your Pet’s Microchip Insertion?


    At Sanatoga Animal Hospital, we offer professional microchip insertion services on-site to help safeguard your pet. Our team understands the importance of quick identification if your pet ever becomes lost. We scan any found pets for microchips, facilitating speedy reunions with their families. By partnering with trusted registries like Home Again, we ensure your pet’s microchip is part of a centralized retrieval system.



    What Is Microchip Insertion and How Does It Work?


    Microchipping involves inserting a tiny, rice-sized microchip under your pet’s skin. This chip holds a unique registration number registered with a national database. When a lost pet is scanned by animal shelters or veterinary clinics, the registration number helps identify the owner. This method offers a permanent means of identification and supports lifetime pet licensing in many states.


    To register your pet’s microchip, you simply provide your contact details to the microchip company, ensuring the microchip is linked to your information for retrieval purposes.



    Additional Resources


    The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) offers a Microchip Lookup Service to help find microchip registries for lost pets. This valuable tool supports quick reconnection between pets and owners when a microchip is present.
