Microchipping is a simple and effective way to keep your pet safe. This tiny device, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under your pet’s skin and contains a unique identification number. In the event that your pet gets lost, a veterinary hospital or animal shelter can use a special scanner to read this number and contact a national pet recovery database to recover your pet's contact information. This greatly improves the odds of a successful reunion, even if your pet loses their collar or identification tag.

At Dighton Veterinary Hospital, we offer quick and safe microchipping services, giving you peace of mind knowing your pet can be traced back to you. We strongly recommend microchipping as an essential part of responsible pet ownership.
