Microchipping is a simple, affordable way to greatly increase the chances of your pet being reunited with you if they ever become lost. At Silver Creek Animal Hospital, we strongly recommend microchipping for every pet. Veterinary clinics and animal shelters are equipped with universal microchip scanners, allowing them to quickly check for a chip when a lost animal is brought in. As long as your contact information is kept current in the microchip registry, you can be notified promptly and reunited with your pet as soon as possible.
