What is a Microchip?
Permanent identification is essential for your pet’s recovery. Should you and your pet ever be separated, a permanent form of identification will increase your chances of being reunited.
A Microchip is a rice-sized device encoded with a unique and unalterable identification number. The "chip" is implanted just under the skin in the scruff of the neck and is read by a scanner.
When your dog is Microchipped through a GRR Veterinarian we register that dog with the Companion Animal Recovery. Companion Animal Recovery Program has enrolled over 1 million animals since their beginning. They average 34,000 new enrollments a month. Because of the microchips approximately 7,000 - 7,500 animals are being returned to their families a month! You can update your records with them.
