A microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and is implanted beneath your pet’s skin, between the shoulder blades. They contains a number unique to your pet which is used as an identifier when scanned by a shelter or vet, like a cars license plate. Microchips keep people and pets together!

If you microchip your pet, the odds are much better that you’ll get reunited with your best friend!
