Microchipping in West Lafayette
A Lifetime of Protection in One Simple Step
No one ever plans for a pet to become lost, but it can happen in an instant. Microchipping provides a permanent form of identification that significantly increases the chances of being reunited with your pet. At Creekside Animal Hospital, we offer safe and reliable microchipping for dogs and cats to give families added peace of mind.
How Microchipping Works
A microchip is a small device, about the size of a grain of rice, that is placed just beneath your pet’s skin. The process is quick and similar to receiving a routine vaccine. Each microchip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by veterinary hospitals and shelters nationwide. When your contact information is registered and kept up to date, this identification number links directly back to you if your pet is ever found.
Safe, Permanent, and Effective
Unlike collars and tags, which can break or fall off, a microchip provides permanent identification that stays with your pet for life. The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and does not require anesthesia. Microchipping is a simple yet powerful step in protecting your pet. If your pet is not yet microchipped or if you need help updating your registration information, our team is happy to assist you.
