Will microchipping hurt my pet?

Not any more than a regular vaccine injection. We generally put a small amount of local anaesthetic at the site to allow for insertion of the larger microchip needle. The chip is inserted at the back of the pet’s neck, where the skin is loose. Microchipping is a safe and effective way to identify your pet in case he or she becomes lost.
