Microchipping

Some studies show that less than 15% of dogs and less than 2% of cats that enter shelters as strays are reunited with their owners. Microchipping your pet can greatly increase the likelihood of being reunited. Microchips are about the size of a grain of rice and are implanted with a sterile needle/syringe under the skin between the shoulder blades. While many clients opt to have this done at the same time as a surgical procedure, anesthesia is not necessary and microchipping can be done during any office visit.

Also, dogs which are microchipped are eligible for life-time dog licenses instead of yearly licensing.
