A Small Chip With a Big Impact
We know how devastating it can be when a beloved pet goes missing. That’s why we recommend microchipping as a reliable and effective way to give pet parents peace of mind. A microchip is a tiny, permanent form of identification that dramatically increases the chance of being reunited if your pet is lost. We offer fast, gentle microchip placement at our Round Rock clinic, with registration support to make the process easy from start to finish.
What Is a Microchip?
A microchip is a small device — about the size of a grain of rice — that’s inserted just beneath your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. It contains a unique ID number linked to your contact information in a national pet recovery database.
How Microchipping Works
- The microchip is inserted using a needle, similar to a routine vaccine.
- Once placed, the chip remains under the skin and does not move or wear out.
- If your pet is found and brought to a veterinary clinic or shelter, a scanner reveals the chip’s ID number.
- The clinic or shelter uses that number to contact the pet recovery service, who then notifies you.
The process is quick, safe, and provides lifetime protection for your pet.
Is Microchipping Safe?
Yes, microchipping is extremely safe and widely used by veterinary professionals across the country. The chip itself is made of biocompatible materials that won’t harm your pet or trigger allergic reactions. Most pets don’t even flinch during the placement, and anesthesia is not needed (though it can be done during spay/neuter or dental procedures for convenience).
Side effects are rare but may include mild swelling at the injection site, which usually resolves quickly.
Why Microchipping Matters
Every year, millions of pets go missing, and collars or ID tags can fall off or become unreadable. A microchip provides a permanent, tamper-proof form of identification that stays with your pet for life.
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA):
- Dogs with microchips are over 2x more likely to be reunited with their families.
- Cats with microchips are more than 20x more likely to make it back home.
That’s the power of a microchip.
