Microchipping

At Village Veterinary Hospital in Collinsville, Illinois, we recognize that your pets are beloved members of your family. Pet microchipping is a simple and inexpensive solution to keep your pet safe and ensure they can always find their way home. The procedure is straightforward: a microchip the size of a grain of rice is implanted between your pet’s shoulder blades. Once installed, the microchip cannot be removed or damaged. The technique is a simple and quick way to identify your pet permanently. If your pet becomes separated from you, any veterinarian or animal shelter can scan for the microchip and reunite you with your pet.

Unveiling the Benefits of Microchipping:

Imagine living in a society where your pet’s safety is never in jeopardy, where the likelihood of being separated from you is reduced, and where a straightforward operation may one day save their life. Our Collinsville, Illinois, microchipping services are made to give you these guarantees:

  • A Lifeline of Reunion: Life is full of surprises, and sometimes, our furry friends might wander a little too far. With a microchip, your pet’s chances of finding their way back home are greatly enhanced. This tiny device holds a wealth of information about your pet, ensuring they are swiftly reunited with you if they ever become lost.
  • Guardians of Identification: Collars and tags can fade or fall off, but a microchip is a permanent form of identification. It’s there to stay, ensuring that your pet’s identity remains intact even if other forms of identification are lost. This can be especially crucial in emergency situations.
  • A Bridge of Communication: Microchips are universal. This means that if your pet is found miles away from home, any veterinary clinic or animal shelter with a scanner can read the chip’s information. This technology transcends language barriers, helping your pet’s story be told accurately, no matter where they are found.
  • A Safety Net for Peace of Mind: Knowing that your beloved companion has an extra layer of protection brings profound peace of mind. Microchipping is a small effort with immense rewards, reinforcing the idea that your pet’s safety is a top priority.
