How would you find a missing pet if its tag becomes lost or unreadable, or if you happen to be traveling and your pet wanders off?
Studies have shown that more than 10 million pets get lost each year and about 90 percent would not be returned to their owner unless they have some form of permanent lost pet identification. Getting lost is the number one cause of pet death.
This is why The Animal Care Center at Granville uses international microchips as a standard of care for all of our feline and canine patients. With a microchip, your pet can be identified quickly and easily by animal control officers, shelters, and veterinary hospitals. Pet microchips are safe, unalterable and permanent identification for pets.
Microchips are only slightly larger than a grain of rice and are easily placed under the skin between the shoulder blades of your pet.
