Losing a beloved pet is every owner’s fear. No matter how cautious you are, your dog or cat could slip through an open door, break off a leash, or wander away during a storm. With pet identification microchipping, you give your pet the best chance of making it back home safely.
Microchipping provides a permanent identification method. A tiny chip – about the size of a grain of rice – is implanted beneath your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. This microchip carries an identification number that can be scanned by veterinary clinics, shelters, or animal control officers using a universal scanner. The scanner activates the chip via radio waves, revealing the pet’s microchip number, which is then traced back to the microchip registry or microchip manufacturer to retrieve your registration information.
Our dedicated team is here to provide urgent, high-quality care for your pets—because they’re family and deserve immediate attention when it matters most!
At Broadway Veterinary Hospital, we offer professional pet identification microchipping services to help Sacramento pet owners protect their animals in case they ever get lost. Microchipping is one of the simplest and most effective ways to ensure a lost dog, cat, or small pet has a path back home.
Our microchipping service includes:
Safe placement of implanted microchips beneath your pet’s skin
Use of ISO standard microchips for universal scanner compatibility
Support with registration information and updates
Optional microchipping for ferrets, rabbits, birds, and other exotic animals
Lifetime identification support in case of separation
Whether your pet slips through a gate or bolts during fireworks, a microchip offers permanent identification that travels with your pet, unlike collars or tags that can fall off or be removed. Our team provides compassionate care during the brief procedure and walks you through how to register the pet’s microchip number with the microchip registry.
Each year, thousands of lost pets end up in animal shelters, and many never make it back to their homes. Microchipped animals are significantly more likely to be reunited with their families – especially when their chip registration is up to date in a national database.
We recommend combining a microchip with an ID tag and collar for full coverage. While ID tags are useful for quick contact, they can be removed or lost. A microchip, once placed, stays with your pet for life. Our team uses ISO standard iso chips designed for universal recognition and long-term reliability.
We offer microchipping services not only for dogs and cats but also for ferrets, rabbits, birds, and other small pets. The process is quick and minimally invasive, with most pets tolerating it as easily as a routine vaccination. While adverse reactions are rare, we always monitor your pet during and after the procedure.
Microchipping is a quick, low-stress procedure – most pets tolerate it well, similar to a routine vaccination. The microchip, roughly the size of a grain of rice, is injected implanted beneath the pet’s skin using a sterile needle. Placement is typically between the shoulder blades and takes just seconds.
After the chip is placed, we will provide:
Written instructions for registering your pet’s microchip number
A QR code or link to the microchip registry website
Guidance on keeping your registration information current
Your chip will be associated with a specific frequency, readable by all standard scanners. To ensure effective use, you must complete the online registration with the chip’s manufacturer. If you move or change phone numbers, updating the database is essential.
We also offer verification scans for pets with existing microchips. If your pet was adopted or chipped elsewhere, we can confirm that the chip still works and help you verify that your contact information is up to date in the registry.
