Pet Microchipping

At Home Veterinary offers microchipping for dogs and cats as a simple, permanent way to help your pet find their way home if they are ever lost. A microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and is injected just under the skin—no anesthesia or surgery needed.

We use Datamars microchips, which are ISO-compliant and universally scannable by most microchip readers used in shelters and veterinary clinics. Each chip has a unique identification number that can be read by a scanner and linked to your contact information.

Your pet's Datamars chip is automatically registered with the Datamars PetLink database, so there’s no need to fill out a separate form or pay an additional fee for enrollment. We’ll provide you with your pet’s microchip number and instructions for keeping your contact information up to date online. There are no annual fees.

Even indoor pets can slip out unexpectedly, so microchipping is a valuable safeguard for any dog or cat. It's also required for international travel and recommended for disaster preparedness.

If your pet needs a microchip—or if you're unsure whether they already have one—just ask us during your next visit. We’re happy to help!
