Microchipping
We, at Griffin Avian and Exotic Veterinary Hospital in Kannapolis, NC, we offer microchipping services for the safety of your exotic pet. Microchip identification can be a valuable way to reunite pet owners with their beloved pets if lost.
Why Microchipping Matters
Microchipping is a permanent way to identify your pet, unlike collars or tags that might go missing. It involves placing a tiny chip, as small as a grain of rice, under your pet’s skin, with a unique ID number registered in a national database. If your pet gets lost or stolen, a vet, shelter, or rescue organization can scan the chip to access your contact details, making a reunion easier and less stressful.
This is especially important for exotic pets like Birds, rabbits, ferrets and reptiles. Knowing your pet is microchipped brings peace of mind and can help you comply with local regulations in some areas.
