Have Your Pet Microchipped in Lake Charles
Country Club Veterinary Clinic provides microchipping for pets in Lake Charles, Sulphur, Westlake, Iowa, Carlyss, Jennings, Orange, and the surrounding areas.
But what is microchipping, exactly, and how does it work? A microchip is a tiny chip that is about the size of a grain of rice. It contains a unique identification number that can be read by simply passing a scanner over your pet. Nearly every veterinary clinic and shelter across the country will be able to read the chip, making it a reliable way to be reunited with your pet should they ever go missing. At Country Club Veterinary Clinic, we perform microchipping for pets in Lake Charles, Sulphur, and beyond.
How it Works
You can bring your pet in for a separate microchipping appointment, but many owners choose to get the procedure done when their pet is already in the clinic for a wellness exam, spay or neuter procedure, dental cleaning, or vaccinations. Similar to getting a vaccine, the microchip is implanted just under the skin between their shoulders using a needle. It’s a simple, quick, and nearly painless procedure for your pet.
Once you’ve had your pet microchipped, make sure you register your information with the microchip company. The chip itself does not contain specific information, like your phone number, address, or name, so you’ll need to provide that to them and keep it updated over the years. It’s a good idea to list your cell phone number in case your pet goes missing while you’re traveling. You should also be able to list an alternate contact in case of emergencies. Microchipped pets in Lake Charles, Sulphur, and other areas often travel much farther than their owners would expect.
