Pet Microchip

Our veterinarians highly recommend microchip implantation for all animals. These safe and inexpensive chips dramatically increase the chances of being reunited if your pet is lost. At St. John Animal Clinic, we can microchip your pet during an office visit or an anesthetic procedure.

What is a Microchip?

A microchip is about the size and shape of a grain of rice and is placed underneath your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. Microchips are placed with a needle in a quick and safe injection. If your pet is lost and taken in by a shelter, animal control, or veterinary clinic, a scanner will read your pet’s unique number and allow them to contact you to reunite you with your lost pet.
