Did you know that 1 in 3 pets will go missing in their lifetime?

Without proper identification, many never find their way back home. Microchipping is a quick, painless, and permanent way to give your pet the best chance of being reunited with you if they ever get lost.

Why Microchip Your Pet?
Permanent ID – Unlike collars and tags, a microchip can’t fall off or be removed.
Fast & Safe – The procedure takes seconds and lasts a lifetime.
Greater Chance of Reunion – Vets and shelters scan lost pets for microchips, helping them return home.
Peace of Mind – Know your pet has extra protection if they ever go missing.

Microchipping is a simple and quick procedure that can make the difference between life and death for your pet. A microchip, which is the size of a grain of rice, is inserted under your animal’s skin and contains a unique identification number that can be scanned. This means that if your pet gets lost, any veterinarian or animal shelter can scan the chip and access your contact information, making it easier for them to return home. Additionally, in many places, microchipping is a legal requirement, and it is an effective way to prove ownership of your pet. So, if you haven’t done it yet, come to Kimvet and make sure your four-legged friend is protected!
