The Importance of Microchipping Your Pet

Have you made the wonderful leap into pet ownership? Do you now have a new dog or cat? Like most new pet owners, you most likely took extreme care to buy the best food, cute feeding and water bowls, snuggly bed, and toys for your new furry friend. Now its time to find a veterinary clinic for vaccination shots and pet care. East Valley Emergency Pet Clinic in Diamond Bar is eager to take your call and answer any questions you may have, including questions regarding microchipping your pet.

Helping Lost Pets

Even the best trained dog may become overwhelmed by a game of chase with a squirrel or another animal. That chase could lead your beloved pet off of your property into the woods or down neighborhood streets quicker than you have time to react. Maybe your indoor cat has sprinted out an open door. Often when these things happen, rather than the owner finding their pet, another person finds the animal and it is taken to a veterinary clinic or an animal shelter. If your pet is microchipped, the information stored on the chip will lead back to you, allowing you and your pet to be reunited quickly.

Helping Stolen Pets

No one wants to think the unthinkable, but sometimes, pets get stolen. Unfortunately, there are several instances of this happening. If this does happen to you and your pet is microchipped, the microchip can be proof of registration and ownership of the animal. This will protect you and your pet from the long legal process of two different people claiming ownership.
