Dog and Cat Microchipping in Pasadena, TX

Every year, millions of cats and dogs go missing in the United States. While collars and ID tags are helpful, they can fall off, become damaged, or be removed. A microchip gives your pet a permanent form of identification that can help them find their way back to you if they are ever lost.

Angel Animal Hospital offers cat and dog microchipping in Pasadena, TX, as a quick, simple way to add an extra layer of protection for your pet.

What Is Pet Microchipping?

Pet microchipping is a simple procedure that places a tiny microchip just beneath your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades. The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and contains a unique ID number linked to your contact information in a secure database.

If your pet is found and brought to an animal shelter, rescue, or veterinary hospital, the microchip can be scanned so you can be contacted. A microchip is not a GPS tracker and cannot show your pet’s location. It only works when your pet is found and scanned.

Why Should I Have My Cat or Dog Microchipped?

Microchipping can greatly improve the chances of being reunited with a lost pet. ID tags are still important, but they are not always reliable on their own. Because a microchip is placed beneath the skin, it stays with your pet for life.

Microchipping can help because it:

  • Provides permanent identification for your pet

  • Helps shelters and veterinary hospitals contact you if your pet is found

  • Gives backup protection if a collar or ID tag is lost

  • Works for both indoor and outdoor pets

  • Supports faster reunions when your contact information is current

To be effective, your pet’s microchip registration must stay up to date. Be sure to update your contact information any time you move, change phone numbers, or update your email address.
