MICROCHIPPING

Approximately 10 million pets go missing in the United States each year, with only 14% reunited with their owners. Do not let your pet become a statistic. Chances of recovery are significantly increased for pets who have been microchipped. We care about your pet’s safety because when you walk through our doors, you’re not just a client — you’re part of our story.

Why Is Microchipping Your Pet Important

Microchipping your pet gives your pet permanent identification. This is the best chance for finding his/her way home in the event of:

  • Natural disaster
  • Emergencies
  • Stolen
  • Lost from home

What To Expect

The microchip is inserted with a simple injection while your pet is awake. If your pet becomes lost and someone takes him to a shelter or a veterinarian, the staff will scan the microchip to read its unique number. Then, your contact information can be obtained through the microchip registry, and you will be contacted for a reunion with your pet.

Since we live in a hurricane prone area, microchipping your pet is a smart decision. Without ID, 90% of pets never return home. Please help provide a happy homecoming for you and your pet!

What would you do if your pet went missing? It’s a question no pet owner ever wants to face—but it’s also why pet microchipping is one of the most important steps you can take. At Safe Harbor Animal Hospital, we strongly recommend microchipping all dogs and cats as part of a complete pet safety plan. A microchip provides a permanent form of identification that can never fall off, be removed, or become unreadable over time. Unlike collars or tags, a microchip stays with your pet for life—and can be the key to a joyful reunion if your pet ever gets lost.

We believe every pet deserves the best chance to find their way home. With a quick, simple, and affordable procedure, microchipping gives you peace of mind and protects the animals you love most.
