Microchipping provides a permanent form of identification for your pet. At Shey’s Veterinary Hospital in Orlando, we offer safe and simple microchipping services to help pets reunite with their families if they ever become lost.
A microchip is a small electronic device placed just beneath your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades.
Each chip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by veterinary clinics, shelters, or animal control agencies. This number connects to a database containing the pet owner’s contact information.
Unlike collars or tags, which may fall off or become damaged, a microchip provides permanent identification for your pet.
Microchipping is a quick procedure that can often be performed during a routine veterinary visit.
Microchipping is performed using a sterile needle to place the chip beneath the skin. The process takes only a few moments.
The microchip itself does not contain a battery and becomes active only when scanned by a compatible reader.
Our veterinary team provides instructions for registering your pet’s microchip so your contact information remains connected to the identification number.
Microchips provide a reliable identification method that stays with your pet for life.
Microchipped pets are significantly more likely to be returned to their owners if they become lost.
Knowing your pet has permanent identification helps provide reassurance if they ever wander away.

Microchipping is typically performed once in a pet’s lifetime. After the chip is placed, it remains in place permanently.
Pet owners should ensure their contact information stays updated in the microchip registry.

Yes. Once placed, the microchip remains with your pet for life.
