Microchipping in Altamonte Springs

Permanent identification for your pet

A collar and tag can fall off. A microchip can't. If your dog or cat ever gets lost — through an open gate, a broken fence, or a startled dash out the front door — a microchip is often the difference between a reunion and a permanent goodbye. At Westmonte Animal Clinic, we offer microchipping in Altamonte Springs for dogs and cats as a simple, one-time procedure that provides lifelong identification you never have to think about again.

How Microchipping Works

Simple and permanent pet identification
A microchip is a tiny device, roughly the size of a grain of rice, that gets implanted just under the skin between your pet's shoulder blades using a needle. The procedure takes only a few seconds and requires no anesthesia. Most pets react no more than they would to a routine vaccine. Once the chip is in place, it remains there permanently and requires no maintenance, battery, or charging.

Each microchip contains a unique identification number. When a lost pet is brought to a veterinary clinic or animal shelter, staff use a handheld scanner to read that number. The number is then checked against a microchip registry database, which links back to your contact information. That's how lost pets find their way home, often within hours of being found.

What You Need to Do After Microchipping

Ensure your pet’s microchip is properly registered
The microchip itself is only half of the equation. For it to work, your contact information has to be registered in a searchable national database and kept current. We'll walk you through the registration process during your pet's appointment so you leave with everything in place, not just a chip that hasn't been connected to anything.

If you move, change your phone number, or transfer ownership of your pet, updating your registry information is easy and takes just a few minutes online. An unregistered or out-of-date chip is far less useful, so keeping that information accurate matters as much as having the chip in the first place. If you've adopted a pet that was previously microchipped, we can scan them to retrieve the existing chip number and help you verify or update the registration.
