Microchipping

Microchipping

Microchipping is a permanent form of identification for your pet. Inserting a microchip is like a vaccination, it only takes a few seconds. The procedure is very safe and your pet will feel little pain. Once done, your pet’s details, and your contact address & phone numbers are entered on a national database.

Your cost is only 49$ for the life time to protect your beloved pet.

It is available for all our clients from Richmond Hill, Markham, Newmarket, Thornhill, Vaughan, Maple, Aurora, North York and Toronto area.

Why do we recommend microchipping?

Collars can fall off or be removed & details on pet tags can fade or become outdated. Inserting a microchip means your pet can be easily identified by a ranger, animal shelter or veterinarian regardless of the situation. Once identified, you can be contacted immediately and informed of the location of your pet. If your pet has been stolen and then later recovered, ownership of your pet can be challenged. Microchipping is the only way you can prove ownership of your pet (and yes this does happen).

What happens if your pet strays?

If your pet is ever lost, animal shelter or veterinarian anywhere in Canada can scan your pet for a microchip and access your contact details. The only way that you may not become reunited with your lost pet is if you don’t contact the register when you have changed your address or contact phone numbers.

Who to contact if you change address?

If you change address or telephone number, it is your responsibility to contact a national registry and update your contact details. If you are not sure who your pet is registered with, you can find out through Canadian Microchipping

If your pet was implanted with a microchip by our practice, you should contact the EIDAP Animal Registry at 1- 888-346-8899.
