Microchipping in Plainfield

The tiny chip, embedded under the skin, contains a unique identification number linked to the owner’s contact information. It’s a secure and permanent method of identification that remains functional throughout your pet’s life.

If your dog or cat becomes lost, this pet microchip can be scanned by a veterinary clinic or shelter, and the information can be used to contact you and reunite you with your furry family member. It’s a simple yet invaluable precaution that every pet parent should take. 

Microchip Information & Data

A microchip contains a unique 15-digit identification number. This number works like your pet's personal ID code. When scanned by a veterinarian or shelter, this number links to a secure database containing:

Owner Contact Information

• Your full name
• Primary phone number
• Alternative phone number
• Current home address
• Email address

Pet Information

• Name 
• Breed
• Color/markings
• Date of birth/age
• Gender
• Spay/neuter status
• Medical conditions or special needs

Veterinary Contact

• Primary vet clinic name
• Clinic phone number
• Clinic address

Microchip Details

• Date of implantation
• Brand of microchip
• Implanting organization

Just remember: The microchip itself only stores the ID number; all other information is kept in the secure online database. This means you can easily update your contact information anytime it changes, such as when you move or change phone numbers, through the microchip registry website or phone number.
