Microchipping
Over 10 million pets are lost each year in the United States. Many of these pets do not find their way back home because they lack the proper identification or they have lost their collars or tags. Now there is a way in which your pet can be identified even without tags.

Microchipping is a permanent pet identification method in which a small microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is placed between the shoulder blades of your pet. It is not a tracking device. The microchip number is recorded in a nationwide database that is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. If your pet becomes lost, shelters and veterinary hospitals nationwide have scanners that read the microchip and return the animal to its rightful owner.
