Microchipping

Unfortunately hundreds of pets go missing each year. Sometimes the only thing preventing them from being reunited with their pet parents is the lack of a microchip. Microchips carry the number and address of their owners. When veterinarians or animal shelter employees scan a pet and find this information, owners are immediately contacted. Just like us, they understand the concern that comes with being separated from a furry companion. To get your pet microchipped and ensure their safety should they get lost, book an appointment by calling 250-598-4477.

How is the microchip inserted?

The chip is the size of a rice grain that is inserted just under their skin between their shoulder blades using a small needle.

How long does it take to get a pet microchipped?

Inserting the microchip is a quick and easy procedure. It takes less than 30 seconds and is barely felt by your pet. If anything, it will feel like a small pinch.

How do I register my pet’s microchip?

Before your pet is microchipped, you will be given forms to share your contact information with a pet registry. Filling out these documents is a way we can help you organize your information and introduce you to a pet recovery registry. It is up to you to confirm your registration with them and update your information should you move or change your phone number.
