At Mills Animal Hospital, we know your pet isn't just a pet—they're family.
We strongly recommend microchipping using PetLink microchips to ensure that if your pet is ever lost, they can be identified and returned home quickly. Microchipping is the most secure option to prove your ownership if your pet is lost or stolen.

How Does Microchipping Work?
The process of microchipping is straightforward and quick. A microchip, which is about the size of a grain of rice, is inserted just under the skin between your pet's shoulder blades using a needle. This procedure is as simple as a vaccination and doesn’t require anesthesia.
Save This Life microchips are unique because they not only store your pet's identification number but also offer innovative features to help reunite lost pets with their owners. For example, when someone finds your pet and accesses the microchip, they can immediately send you a text message, making the reunion process faster.
The Role of Microchips in Reuniting Pets and Owners
Imagine your pet wanders off and gets lost. If someone finds them and takes them to a veterinary clinic or animal shelter, one of the first things they will do is scan for a microchip. When the microchip is found, the clinic can look up the identification number, contact the microchip registry, and then get in touch with you. This system works because the microchip is registered with your contact information, making it easy for you to be reached.
