Pet Microchip Placement

At Somerset Animal Hospital, we understand the importance of keeping your pets safe and easily identifiable. That’s why we offer Pet Microchip Placement services to ensure that your furry friends can always be traced back to you.

What is a Pet Microchip?

A pet microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size of a grain of rice, that uses radio waves to transmit identification information. Each microchip contains a unique identification number that is revealed when the chip is scanned. This number is then reported to the appropriate microchip company, which stores the owner’s contact information.

Why Choose Microchipping?

Microchipping your pet is a simple, quick, and highly effective method of permanent identification. Here are some key benefits:

• Permanent Identification: Unlike collars and tags, a microchip is a permanent solution that can’t be lost or removed.
• Quick and Painless: The microchip is implanted under your pet’s skin in a procedure that is quick and similar to a vaccination.
• Increased Chances of Reunification: Pets with microchips are significantly more likely to be reunited with their owners if they get lost.

At Somerset Animal Hospital, we use HomeAgain microchips for our pet microchip placement services. HomeAgain is a trusted name in pet identification, providing a robust database to store and retrieve your pet’s information. You can log into your account or learn more about HomeAgain here.

Safety and Compatibility

Microchips are made from biocompatible materials, making rejection and infection at the injection site rare. This ensures that your pet’s microchip will function correctly and safely throughout their life.
