A Lifesaving Identification Solution
Each year, millions of pets go missing—and sadly, many never make it back home. Collars and ID tags are helpful, but they can break, fall off, or be removed. That’s why microchipping is one of the most reliable ways to ensure your pet always has a form of identification on them, no matter what.
At Indy Paws Veterinary Hospital, we offer microchipping in Indianapolis to give you peace of mind. The procedure is simple, safe, and involves implanting a tiny microchip—about the size of a grain of rice—under the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades. It’s no more uncomfortable than a routine vaccination and takes only seconds to complete.
Each chip contains a unique identification number linked to a national pet recovery database. If your pet is ever lost and brought to a veterinary hospital or shelter, staff can scan the chip, retrieve your contact information, and help get your pet safely back to you.
Why Microchipping Matters:
- It’s permanent and can’t be lost like a collar or tag.
- It significantly increases the chance of being reunited if your pet goes missing.
- It lasts your pet’s entire life—no maintenance required.
- It’s required for health certificates and travel in many cases.
Already microchipped? Make sure your contact information is up to date in the database. Not sure? We can scan your pet’s chip during your next visit to confirm it’s registered and functioning properly.
A microchip is a tiny investment in your pet’s safety—and one of the most important steps you can take to protect them for life.
