Permanent ID for Lifelong Peace of Mind
Pet Microchipping in Virginia Beach, VA
Losing a pet is every pet owner’s nightmare — but microchipping can make all the difference. At Great Neck Veterinary Clinic, we offer safe and simple microchipping services in Virginia Beach to ensure your furry companion always has a way home.
Unlike collars and tags, which can fall off or be removed, a microchip provides permanent identification that can’t be lost. It’s one of the most effective ways to reunite lost pets with their families.
How Microchipping Works
A microchip is a tiny device — about the size of a grain of rice — implanted just beneath the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades. The process is quick, safe, and no more uncomfortable than a routine vaccine.
Each microchip carries a unique ID number linked to your contact information in a national pet recovery database. Veterinary hospitals, animal shelters, and rescue groups across the country can scan the chip and contact you if your pet is found.
Benefits of Pet Microchipping
- Permanent, tamper-proof identification
- Quick procedure with no anesthesia required
- Lifetime registration with a national database
- Increases the chance of reunion by over 50%
Microchipping is recommended for all dogs and cats, even indoor pets. It only takes one open door for a pet to slip away.
