Microchipping

Dog lying down on the grass in Kerrville TX

Every year, thousands of pets go missing, and many of them don’t make it back to their homes. The American Humane Association has reported that only 2% of lost cats and 15% of lost dogs make it back to their owners. At Hoegemeyer Animal Clinic in Kerrville, Texas, we support getting your pet microchipped as doing so may greatly increase your chances of being reunited with your pet if it were to get lost.

Your pet should have a reliable form of identification. Conscientious pet owners will have their pets wear a collar and ID tag, however, collars can break off and tags can become broken or unreadable. A microchip is a safe and effective alternative. It’s about the size and shape of a grain of rice, placed underneath your pet's skin between their shoulder blades. Microchip implantation is a quick and harmless procedure. Each microchip is individual and carries important information about your pet. This includes your name, address and contact information. When a microchip is implanted, the pet owner must register the microchip for it to read the information.

Registering the microchip adds your pet in a national pet recovery database. Veterinary hospitals, animal shelters, and animal control offices across the country are equipped with special electronic scanners that can detect the microchip and read the identification number. If a lost pet is picked up by animal control or a person that gives them to a veterinarian, a quick scan of the microchip reveals the identification number. A toll-free phone call to the pet recovery database alerts the microchip company that a lost pet has been identified. The pet owner can then be contacted and reunited with their pet!

Answers to some of the most commonly asked questions regarding microchipping for pets below:

How is a pet microchip installed?

Our veterinarians will insert the microchip under your pet’s skin inbetween the shoulder blades using a hypodermic needle. The process takes seconds and is similar to receiving a vaccination. The microchip implant is no larger than a grain of rice.

The procedure is not painful and is usually done simultaneously as an animal is spayed or neutered. Microchipping can be performed on a number of different pets such as dogs, cats, ferrets, and many others.

How much does microchipping cost?

Even with the accompanying registration fees, implanting a microchip in your pet is inexpensive. For a nominal fee, you gain peace of mind, knowing that you can be reunited with your pet if lost! For a specific price quote, contact our offices at Hoegemeyer Animal Clinic.

Are pet microchips safe?

Complications from the implantation process are extremely rare. The benefits of a pet being correctly identified and returned to its owner will far outweigh the small risk of possible complexities. Our veterinarians are experienced in injecting RFID microchips into pets and completely recommend the procedure for all pets.

How long will the microchip last?

The microchip capsule is made of a strong biocompatible glass that won’t cause an allergic reaction when it is inserted under your pet’s skin. Without any dilemmas, the microchips last the entire life of your pet.

​​​​​​​Call us today at Hoegemeyer Animal Clinic in Kerrville, Texas, to have your pet microchipped for a safe, easy procedure that gives you extra peace of mind knowing that your pet has the greatest chances of being reunited with you if they should happen to get lost.
