Rice Vet Clinic uses the latest technology to ensure your pet’s microchipping process is quick, safe, and painless. The chip contains a unique identification number read using a special scanner. This number is linked to your contact information in a national pet recovery database, allowing you to reunite quickly with your cat or dog if they are ever lost. 

Microchipping is a one-time procedure that provides lifelong identification for your pet. It cannot be removed like a conventional collar or tag. Many lost dogs and cats without microchips end up in animal shelters or rescuers, and sadly, their owners may never be found. Microchipping can help prevent this so your pet is quickly recovered if you are separated from them and they are taken to a shelter or humane society in Sartell. The entire process takes only a few minutes, and your pet can resume normal activities immediately afterward.
