Pet Microchipping in Columbus, Ohio

Collars and tags are important, but they can get lost or removed. A microchip is a tiny device, about the size of a grain of rice, that’s implanted just under your pet’s skin. Each chip contains a unique ID number that links to your contact information in a national pet recovery database.

Veterinary clinics, shelters, and animal control offices across the country have scanners that can read microchips. If your pet is ever found, they’ll be scanned, and you’ll be contacted right away. It’s a smart, permanent way to ensure your pet always has a link back to you.

At Bexley Animal Hospital, we make the microchipping process easy and stress-free. We offer dog and cat microchips in Columbus, OH during:

The chip is placed between the shoulder blades with a quick injection, and no anesthesia is required. Most pets barely notice the procedure, and there’s no downtime afterward.

We’ll also help you register your pet’s chip online and walk you through how to keep your contact information up to date.

Once your pet is microchipped, they’re covered for life. No need to repeat the procedure, and most services offer free or low-cost updates to your contact information as needed.

Microchipping is especially important in our community, where outdoor adventures and busy neighborhoods can make accidental escapes more likely. As your East Columbus veterinary team, we’re proud to provide this simple yet powerful safeguard.
