Collars and tags are simply not enough to identify your pet in the event they get lost.  Microchips are a safe and affordable way to insure that your pet is properly identified should they ever become lost, or worst, stolen.  And instead of having your address and phone number dangling in public from a collar, your private information is kept confidential in a secure database to reduce the chance of identity theft. 

The procedure of implanting a microchip is quick and painless, and the microchip stays with your pet for its entire life, embedded under the skin where it cannot fall out or be removed. 

Microchips are especially important for cats that are allowed outdoors, and for dogs that have made it a habit of escaping from their yard or loosing their collars.  One of the best uses of a microchip is to reunite you and your companion animal if you ever get seperated in an emergency.

Your pet can receive a microchip no matter how old they are.  All the Veterinarians, and the entire PetCare Team at Suffolk Veterinary Group Animal Wellness and Laser Surgery Center have microchips implanted in their pets.  In fact, the hospital mascot, Jack, has had his microchip with him for 14 years without any adverse affects! 

The size of a microchip is so small, the size of a grain of rice, but it is such a big and important part of keeping your pet safe, and making sure that they are reunited with you.  Call 631-696-2400 to have your pet microchipped today.
