Microchip Information
Microchipping is one of the most important elements of dog reunification. While microchips have incredible potential for getting lost dogs home, the chip itself is only one component in a complex system involving microchips, scanners, and registries.
A microchip is a small device about the size of a grain of rice that is implanted beneath your dog's skin. It contains a unique number used to identify the animal. This number links to your contact information in an online registry that allows shelters, clinics, veterinarians, and humane organizations to contact you if your lost dog is found. The microchip itself does not store your contact information.
Below you will find links to the most commonly used Microchip companies.
