Why Microchip Your Pet? Did you know 1 in 3 pets go missing in their lifetime? Chip Your Pet Month at Kimvet
This month at Kimvet, we celebrate Pet Microchipping Month. Why is it so important to microchip your furry companion? 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!
