A pet microchip is a tiny, rice-sized device implanted just beneath your pet's skin. It provides a permanent, tamper-proof form of identification that no collar or tag can match. At EastSide Veterinary Services, we offer quick, safe microchipping for dogs and cats of all ages.
How Microchipping Works
The microchip is inserted with a simple needle — no surgery or anaesthesia required. Each chip contains a unique ID number that links to your contact details in a national registry. When a lost pet is scanned at a shelter or vet clinic, you're contacted immediately.
Why Every Pet Should Be Microchipped
- Permanent ID that can't fall off or be removed
- Quick, virtually painless procedure
- Reunites lost pets with owners across Canada
- Required for international travel with pets
