We encourage the use of microchips to give your pet an additional source of identification in the event of being lost, and is often required for international travel. The microchip is a tiny electronic chip about the size of a grain of rice placed just under your pet's skin between the shoulder blades. The number on the chip, along with your personal contact information is then entered into a national database for easy retrieval. Should your pet be lost and found, you'll be promptly contacted and reunited.

Other identification options for your pet include:

• Tatooing
• Personalized Tags
