Pet Microchipping

A Simple Step for Lifelong Safety

Give your pet the best chance of finding their way home with safe, permanent microchipping at MAC Animal Hospital. A microchip is a tiny device—about the size of a grain of rice—implanted just beneath your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. Each chip carries a unique ID number linked to your contact information in a secure national database.

Unlike collars or tags that can break or be removed, a microchip provides lasting protection and can be scanned by shelters, rescue groups, and veterinary hospitals nationwide. This quick, virtually painless procedure offers peace of mind and could make all the difference if your pet ever becomes lost. Have questions? Our team is here to help!

What to Expect During the Microchipping Process

At MAC Animal Hospital, the microchipping procedure is:

  • Fast: the process takes only a few seconds and is similar to a routine vaccine injection.
  • Safe: our veterinary team uses sterile, biocompatible chips and gentle handling to minimize discomfort.
  • Permanent: the chip lasts your pet’s entire lifetime and requires no maintenance.
  • Registered: we help ensure your pet’s microchip is properly registered with up-to-date contact details for easy identification.
