Microchipping
Newton

Microchipping in Newton is a safe and effective way to help ensure that your pet can be quickly identified and returned to you if they become lost. A microchip is a small device about the size of a grain of rice that is implanted under your pet’s skin, typically between their shoulder blades. The chip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by a special reader.

Microchipping is a simple and quick procedure that can be done during a routine visit to your veterinarian. The chip is inserted using a needle, and your pet will likely feel only a brief moment of discomfort.

If your pet becomes lost, animal shelters, veterinary clinics, and other animal care organizations can scan for the microchip to determine the identification number. This number is then used to look up your contact information so that you can be quickly reunited with your furry friend.
