Overview

About Microchipping

A microchip is a tiny, rice-sized transponder injected under your pet's skin. It provides a permanent, tamper-proof form of identification that dramatically increases the chances of being reunited with a lost pet.

At Clix Family Hospitals, we use ISO-standard universal microchips that are compatible with all major scanners. The procedure takes seconds, requires no anesthesia, and provides a lifetime of protection.
