Comprehensive Veterinary CarePet Microchipping in Ann Arbor MI

A microchip is your pet’s permanent ID, ensuring they can be quickly reunited with you if lost. At Arbor Hills Animal Clinic, we offer affordable pet microchipping in Ann Arbor, MI, providing reliable identification and peace of mind for pet owners.

Why Microchip Your Pet?

While collars and tags are helpful, they can fall off or become unreadable. Microchipping offers a reliable, permanent solution. Each microchip contains a unique ID number that links to your contact information in a national database. If your pet ever gets lost, shelters and veterinary clinics across the country can scan the chip and quickly contact you—dramatically improving the odds of a happy reunion.

Microchipping is a one-time procedure that lasts a lifetime. It doesn’t require batteries or maintenance, and it’s recognized by animal welfare organizations and rescue groups nationwide. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in keeping your pet safe.

How Does Pet Microchipping Work?

The process is simple, fast, and very similar to a routine vaccination. A tiny microchip—about the size of a grain of rice—is gently inserted just under the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades. Most pets don’t even flinch, and the entire procedure takes only seconds.

Once inserted, the chip is registered to a national database with your contact details. If you move or change phone numbers, updating the database ensures your pet’s chip always points to the right person. With proper registration and a quick scan, your pet can find their way back to you—even without tags or a collar.

Who Should Microchip Their Pet?

Microchipping is recommended for dogs and cats of all ages, and it’s especially important for:

  • New pet owners, who want to ensure lifelong protection from the start
  • Outdoor pets or escape artists, who may wander farther than expected
  • Families who travel or board their pets, increasing the chance of separation

Whether your pet is always by your side or loves exploring the outdoors, microchipping provides an added layer of security that stays with them wherever they go.
