Microchips are implantable computer chips that encode a unique identification number to help reunite you with your lost pet. They are very simply placed under your pet’s skin and are similar to a routine vaccination. While collars and ID tags can fall off or fade, microchips will never break or fall off. They have an encoded chip identification number that is scanned with a microchip scanner and the owner’s information will show up right away. This means if your pet is lost and brought to a shelter, the pet will be scanned and the staff will have your personal phone number to call and let you know that your pet is no longer lost!

Dogs and cats with microchips are reunited with their owners much more often than animals without microchipping. Losing your pet can be scary and traumatic, causing panic and sending you on a mission to find your missing loved one. Hopefully your pet will never get lost. But in case it happens, a microchip gives you and your pet the best chance of a speedy, happy reunion. Microchipping is an extremely useful service should you ever need it and is an extremely worthwhile investment.

Microchipping is performed for just $35 per pet by a licensed veterinarian during our walk-in vaccine clinic. 

We happily accept cash, Visa, or Mastercard. We cannot accept personal checks. 
There is a $4 medical waste fee per visit per animal for medical services. If you have any questions that are not answered here, please contact us at clinic@homewardboundnj.org or 856-401-1300 x109!
