Pet Microchipping
Pet Microchipping in Plattsburgh, NY
A Simple Step for a Lifetime of Security
Every year, thousands of pets go missing—and sadly, many never make it back home. Microchipping your pet is one of the most effective ways to permanently link your pet to you and increase the chances of a safe return if they’re ever lost.
At Plattsburgh Animal Hospital, we offer safe, simple, and affordable pet microchipping for dogs and cats in Plattsburgh and surrounding North Country communities.
Why Microchipping Is So Important
Even with the most diligent pet owners, accidents happen—collars break, gates get left open, or pets slip out during a moment of distraction. While collars and ID tags can fall off or become unreadable, a microchip provides permanent identification that can’t be lost.
A microchip is a small device—about the size of a grain of rice—implanted just under your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. Each chip carries a unique identification number linked to your contact information in a secure national registry. If your pet is found and scanned at a veterinary hospital, shelter, or animal control facility, you’ll be contacted right away.
Key benefits of microchipping include:
Permanent ID that cannot be lost or removed
Quick and simple procedure
Lifelong protection for a one-time fee
Proven success—microchipped pets are much more likely to be reunited with their families
How the Microchipping Process Works
At Plattsburgh Animal Hospital, the microchipping process is:
- Quick and minimally invasive—similar to a vaccination
- Can be added on to your pets spay/neuter appointment.
Once the chip is implanted, we’ll help you register it with your up-to-date contact information in a national database. It’s also important to update your information if you move or change phone numbers.
