Manhattan Pet Identification – Microchipping

Microchips help guarantee your pet’s safe return home if he or she is lost. Microchips provide owners with peace of mind over their pet. Pet identification is especially important in New York City. A pet microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size and shape of a grain of rice, that contains unique information about your pet. It is implanted beneath a pet’s skin between the shoulder blades, and stays there for the pet’s entire life. This procedure is as easy and as painless as a vaccination.

Each pet microchip has a unique number. This number, along with information about the you and your pet, are added to a national pet registry. Most veterinary hospitals and animal shelters have electronic scanners for detecting and reading these implanted microchips. If your pet is lost, his or her microchip can be scanned, and the information is used to reunite you and your best friend. University Animal Hospital uses the Home Again microchip system.
