Microchipping

Microchips have helped reunite thousands of pets with their families. We offer the AVID microchips to increase the chances of a safe recovery. This service only takes a few minutes and may be done in the office during a yearly exam or technician appointment.
A Microchip is a tiny transponder which is inserted under the skin of your pet, between the shoulder blades, as a permanent form of identification.

Shelters and veterinary practices nation wide use universal scanners on lost pets in order to reconnect them with their owners. Microchips are guarqnteed for the life of your pet and put off no harmful radiation. The placement of the chip is done with a syringe and is no worse than the pain of a vaccination.
