Microchipping in Naples, FL

Microchipping your pet provides a permanent form of identification. A microchip is no larger than a grain of rice and takes only a few seconds to implant under the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades. Anesthesia is not required, and the microchip can easily be placed during a routine appointment with one of our veterinarians. Most dogs and cats tolerate the procedure very well and are often easily distracted with a treat while the microchip is being placed.

After your pet is microchipped, we will provide you with the information needed to register the chip online with PetLink. Your pet’s unique microchip number is linked to your contact information so that you can be reached if your pet is ever lost and found. Your information can be updated online whenever necessary and is password protected. Lifetime PetLink registration is included in the cost of the microchip, so there are no additional registration fees.

We use only 15-digit ISO-compliant microchips, which are compatible with universal microchip scanners and meet the microchip standard commonly required for international pet travel.

We strongly encourage microchipping all dogs and cats. Collars and identification tags can fall off or be removed, but a microchip remains with your pet throughout their lifetime. If your pet is ever lost, a registered microchip provides an important additional safeguard and can greatly assist shelters, veterinary hospitals, and animal control agencies in reuniting you with your pet.
