Microchipping Your Pet

Microchipping gives us a permanent way of identifying a lost pet and helps us return it back to its owner. Microchipping also saves you money, with a lifetime dog licence available for a reduced rate, if your dog is altered.

Veterinarians in Thunder Bay provide microchipping services. Microchipping is a reliable way of ensuring your pet can get back home.

Each microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted between the shoulder blades. Each chip has a unique code, which is read with a scanner. The code then corresponds to information provided by the pet owner, and Animal Services can contact you to inform you about your missing pet.
