Highland Animal Clinic believes in microchipping all pets to help return more lost pets to their owners. Because of this belief, we offer the microchip and implantation for only $45.
It is never too late to microchip your pet.
Microchipping
Microchips are a form of permanent identification. Microchips are about the size of a grain of wild rice and implanted with a needle underneath the skin between the shoulder blades. Each chip has a unique code that is transmitted to a display when a pet is scanned at a clinic or shelter. The clinic then calls the microchip company to receive the owner’s contact information. It is always a good idea to microchip your pet, as it is possible for a pet to lose their collar. Microchips can be implanted at any time but are often done while the pet is under sedation or anesthesia for something else (commonly a spay or neuter.)
