Pet Microchipping in Calgary, AB

Habitat Vet Favicon

Pet microchipping is a simple and effective way to ensure the safety and security of your pet. During this process, a microchip, a device only about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under your pet’s skin. This chip contains a unique identification number that can be read by a scanner, allowing veterinarians, animal shelters, and pet owners to quickly identify lost pets and reunite them with their families.

The Benefits of Pet Microchipping

Permanent Identification

Unlike collars and tags, which can be lost or removed, a microchip provides a permanent form of identification. This ensures that your pet can always be identified, even if they lose their external ID.

Quick and Painless Procedure

The microchipping process is quick and relatively painless. It is similar to a routine vaccination and can be done during a regular veterinary visit. Most pets do not even notice the implantation.

Increased Chances of Recovery

Pets with microchips are much more likely to be reunited with their owners if they become lost. Animal shelters and veterinary clinics are equipped with scanners that can read the microchip and access the owner’s contact information.

Peace of Mind

Knowing that your pet has a reliable form of identification can provide peace of mind. In case your pet ever goes missing, you have a higher chance of finding them quickly.

When Should You Microchip Your Pet?

Early Microchipping

It’s recommended to microchip pets at a young age, usually when they are spayed or neutered. However, pets of any age can be microchipped.

After Adoption

If you have adopted a pet, microchipping should be one of your first steps. This ensures that your new family member is protected from the moment they join your home.

Moving to a New Area

If you are moving to a new area, it is a good time to microchip your pet. New surroundings can be confusing, and a microchip helps ensure that your pet can be identified if it gets lost.
