We see fliers on local bulletin boards and social media posts about missing pets, highlighting the importance of microchipping. Too often, lost pets never make it back to their owners. Ross Bridge Animal Hospital offers pet owners in Hoover, Homewood, Birmingham, Bessemer, and Shannon, Alabama, a safe and reliable way to permanently identify their pets. This method eliminates the need to rely on faulty collars and tags.
We implant a microchip about the size of a grain of rice under your pet’s skin. This microchip is placed between the shoulder blades. It only takes a few minutes and we can perform it during any visit to our hospital.
Each microchip comes with a unique registration number linked to your pet’s personal information. This includes their name, your name, address, contact information, and veterinarian details. To simplify things for our pet parents, we complete the registration process for you. Once we microchip your pet at our hospital, we register them with the national pet recovery database. This registration helps ensure you feel secure.
Veterinary clinics, animal shelters, and animal control facilities have scanners that can detect and read microchips. We scan all stray animals for microchips. If we find one, we call the pet recovery database to alert the microchip company that we have identified a lost pet. A happy ending of reuniting pets and owners depends on the pet owners keeping their contact information up to date in the database.
