Microchip ID

A microchip is your pet’s permanent ID. A pet microchip—the size of a grain of rice—goes beneath your pet’s skin. This permanent ID can never be removed or become impossible to read. Veterinarians, Animal Control staff and shelters across the nation use this ID to contact you and reunite you with your pet. All adopted dogs and cats from GIHS have a microchip and microchipping services are available to the general public.

GIHS occasionally hosts microchipping clinics and provides low-cost microchipping for pets. For Information or assistance, contact us.
