Microchipping for Dogs and CatsBecause they mean the world to you.Request Appointment
Because love deserves protection.A microchip is a permanent form of identification that can be used to link a pet to their owner. The microchip itself is about the size of a single grain of rice and, much like a vaccine, is injected between the shoulder blades. If your pet becomes lost, a shelter or veterinarian will scan their microchip to reveal a unique number. That number is then used tretrieve the owner's contact information and reunite the family.
Recheck / Follow Up ExamBecause your love matters.Taking actionAt Covina Animal Hospital, we only use HomeAgain microchips because it is the only dog & cat microchipping product on the market that has the patented anti-migration feature. This helps ensure that the microchip will stay in place and may be easily located and scanned. They also offer a lifetime registration that never expires, and to ensure all of our patients have been properly registered, we take care of this part for you!Follow-up exams are important to assess the medical progress of a patient's condition. Treatment plans often need to be adjusted to suit changes in chronic conditions, like kidney disease, liver disease, arthritis, and many others. For acute issues such as limping or ear infections, a medical progress exam is necessary to determine how well the treatment is working and whether or not it needs to be extended or adjusted.
Implanting a microchip is simple and similar to administering a vaccine or a routine shot. No anesthetic is required, however, we recommend having the procedure done at the time of spay or neuter so your pet doesn’t feel anything at all.
Pet microchips are not tracking devices, they are a form of permanent identification. Since there’s no battery and no moving parts, there’s nothing to keep charged, wear out, or replace. The microchip will last your pet’s lifetime.
All pets should wear collar tags imprinted with their name and the phone number of their owner, but only a microchip provides permanent ID that cannot fall off, be removed, or become impossible to read.
Both cats and dogs need to be microchipped. Cats often do not wear collars, and may not have any other form of ID. If a cat is microchipped, the return-to-owner rate is 20 times higher than if the cat was not microchipped.
Microchips carry only a unique identification number that is revealed by a special scanner. The number is called into the pet recovery service and the owner is contacted using the information that has been registered with their pet.
