Protect Your Pet with Permanent Identification
Microchipping
Losing a pet is every pet owner’s worst nightmare—but microchipping can offer peace of mind. At Newark Veterinary Hospital, we provide professional microchipping services to help ensure your pet can be quickly identified and returned to you if they’re ever lost. It’s a simple, safe, and effective way to protect your furry family member for a lifetime.
What Is a Pet Microchip?
A microchip is a tiny device—about the size of a grain of rice—that’s implanted just under your pet’s skin, typically between the shoulder blades. Each chip contains a unique ID number that is registered in a national pet recovery database. When scanned by a shelter or veterinary clinic, the microchip reveals the pet’s ID number, which is then used to contact the pet owner via the information stored in the registry.
Unlike collars and tags, which can fall off or become unreadable, microchips provide permanent identification.
Why Microchipping Matters
Every year, millions of pets go missing. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), dogs with microchips are over twice as likely to be returned to their owners, and cats are more than 20 times as likely. Microchipping can make the difference between a joyful reunion and a permanent loss.

- Increases the chances of reunification after separation
- Simple and affordable procedure
- National database access for quick owner contact
- Peace of mind for pet owners
