Microchipping
Animal Microchipping helps identify your pet. If a pet is lost or stolen, an animal shelter or Ottawa veterinarian can scan the pet and identify them and their owner.
- Microchipping can be administered during a routine appointment or at the time of sterilization.
- A chip (the size of a grain of rice) is administered under the skin with a unique identification number that can be recognized by a microchip scanner.
- It is a permanent method of identification. The microchip will stay with your pet for life.
