Pet Microchipping
When pets go missing, a microchip can be their best chance at returning home. At Kehoe Animal Clinic of Viera, we provide safe and affordable pet microchipping in Melbourne, FL to give you peace of mind and the best chance of being reunited with your beloved companion if they are ever lost.
What Is Pet Microchipping?
Pet microchipping is a simple, permanent way to identify your dog or cat. A tiny microchip—about the size of a grain of rice—is placed just beneath your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades. Each chip contains a unique ID number that links to your contact information in a secure database.
Unlike collars and tags, which can fall off or fade, dog and cat microchipping provides lifelong identification. Shelters and veterinary clinics can scan the chip and quickly contact you if your pet is found.
What to Expect During Pet Microchipping
- A quick, safe procedure similar to a routine vaccination
- No anesthesia required—most pets hardly notice the process
- Registration of your contact details in a national database
- Guidance on how to keep your information updated for ongoing protection
At Kehoe Animal Clinic, our team ensures your pet is comfortable throughout the process and that you understand how the system works for maximum peace of mind.
Why Pet Microchipping Is Important
Every year, thousands of pets are lost, and only a fraction are reunited with their families. Studies show that microchipped dogs are more than twice as likely to return home, while microchipped cats are more than 20 times as likely to be reunited with their owners.
Low-cost pet microchipping is one of the easiest, most effective steps you can take to protect your pet and ensure they always find their way back home.
