Microchip
Microchip in Hawaiian Gardens
A microchip is a small, electronic device about the size of a grain of rice. It is implanted under a pet's skin and provides a unique identification number. Pet microchipping is recommended because it provides a permanent form of identification that can't be lost or removed, increasing the chances of returning lost pets to their owners. The procedure is simple, relatively painless, and offers lifelong benefits.
