This process involves insertion of a chip, not much larger than a grain of rice, underneath the skin of your dog or cat.  This chip carries a coded number which is specific to your pet.  The owner is then responsible for registering this microchip number into a database (free online service) in order to link the number with the owners contact information. Microchips are useful should your pet be lost and presented to a humane society or veterinary office.  Microchips have helped re-unite over 1 million animals with their families since this service started in the early 1990’s.
