Microchip Implantation

Gain Peace of Mind with Microchip Implantation

Microchipping is your pet’s permanent ID and may be the only way to see your pet again if he or she is ever lost or stolen. At Tri-County Animal Hospital, pets can have the microchip installed quickly and easily during their annual exam. It is a simple procedure similar to a vaccination, and no anesthesia is required. If your pet was rescued from a shelter or adopted from another owner, we can also perform a quick check to see if a chip has already been implanted.

Found Pets

Veterinary clinics, animal control, animal rescues, and shelters across the United States are equipped with scanners capable of detecting and reading the microchips in the unfortunate event that your pet is lost. This gives you the best possible chance that you and your pet will be reunited.
