Pet Microchipping in Norcross

Protect your pet with safe, permanent identification that lasts a lifetime

Even the most well-behaved pets can become lost unexpectedly

A door left open, a damaged fence, or a frightening noise can cause a dog or cat to wander away from home. At Your Friends at Norcross Animal Hospital, we offer pet microchipping in Norcross as a safe, simple, and permanent form of identification that can significantly improve the chances of a happy reunion if your pet ever goes missing.

Unlike collars and ID tags, which can break or fall off, a microchip remains with your pet for life.

How Does a Microchip Work?

A Simple Way to Help Bring Your Pet Home

A pet microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size of a grain of rice, that is placed just beneath the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades. Implanting the chip is a quick procedure that requires only a needle, making it similar to receiving a routine vaccination. Most pets tolerate the process with little to no discomfort, and anesthesia isn’t necessary.

Each microchip contains a unique identification number that’s linked to your contact information in a secure pet recovery database. If your pet is found and brought to a veterinary hospital or animal shelter, staff can scan the chip, access the registration information, and contact you.

It’s important to understand that microchips are not GPS tracking devices. They don’t monitor your pet’s location or transmit signals. Instead, they provide permanent identification that can be accessed with a compatible scanner.

Keeping Your Registration Current

Accurate Information Makes All the Difference

A microchip is only effective if the registration information is accurate. After your pet receives their microchip, we’ll help you complete the registration process and explain how to update your contact information if you move or change your phone number.

During future wellness visits, we can also scan your pet’s microchip to confirm it’s functioning properly and remains in place. While it’s uncommon for a chip to fail or shift beneath the skin, periodic checks help ensure it’s ready if it’s ever needed.
