A microchip is a small, grain-sized device that has RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology that can be scanned to identify your pet. The microchip is non-reactive and does not emit any sort of signal or frequency that would harm your dog or cat.
Each microchip has a unique barcode, or identification code, that is registered to you and your pet’s information. If your dog or cat gets lost, a veterinarian, rescue, animal shelter, or any other animal care provider can scan for the microchip and be able to contact the owners immediately.
