What is a microchip?

A microchip is a small device that stores important information about your dog or cat. It is about the size of a grain of rice and sits under the skin on your pet’s neck. The microchip can be scanned using a special device that provide unique information about the pet. This helps to identify the pet should they get lost. This means you are much more likely to be reunited with your dog or cat should they wonder a little too far from home.
