Pets often go missing in stressful times like storms, fireworks, or sudden events that cause them to panic and run off. Sadly, many end up separated from their families, wandering until they’re taken to a vet or pound. The first step is often to scan for a microchip. With a quick scan, the unique ID on the chip reveals the owner’s contact details, creating a fast reunion between the pet and family.
Microchipping your pet isn’t just a good idea, it’s also required by law. It saves heartache and speeds up reunions if your pet goes missing. Swift Vets makes microchipping easy and offers the new thermochip, which provides extra benefits for your pet’s comfort and health. Keep reading to find out the benefits of microchipping.
What is a Microchip?
A pet microchip is a tiny device, about the size of a grain of rice, implanted just under your pet’s skin. Each chip has a unique ID number connected to a database with your contact information and your pet’s details. If your pet is found, a quick scan allows a vet or shelter to access this information and contact you.
How Does Microchipping Work?
When a lost pet arrives at a vet or shelter, they’re often scanned for a microchip straight away. This scan brings up a unique ID linked to a database, where contact details are retrieved. This reliable system reunites countless pets with their families each year.
Benefits of Microchipping
Quick Reunions
A microchip helps you reconnect with your pet quickly and efficiently. Unlike collars or tags, a microchip is permanent and can’t be lost.
Extra Security During Emergencies
During emergencies, pets can get scared and run off, making microchipping crucial. Even if separated, a microchip offers peace of mind, ensuring there’s a way to be reunited.
Thermochip for Extra Comfort and Care
