Pet Microchipping
Want an extra layer of ID to keep your pet safe? Bridgeton Animal Hospital offers low-cost pet microchipping in Bridgeton, MO, ensuring your dog or cat can be easily identified if they get lost.
What Is Pet Microchipping?
Pet microchipping involves inserting a tiny, rice-sized microchip just under your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades. This quick and minimally invasive procedure is similar to a routine vaccination. The microchip contains a unique identification number linked to your contact information in a secure database. If your pet is found and scanned at a veterinary clinic or animal shelter, the microchip can help reunite you with your pet.
Why Choose Us?
Microchipping is a simple yet effective way to protect your pet. Unlike collars and tags, which can fall off or become unreadable, a microchip provides a permanent form of identification. At Bridgeton Animal Hospital, we recommend microchipping as part of a responsible pet care plan.
