Microchipping

At Harmony Hill Animal Hospital, your pet's microchip is automatically registered upon insertion, even including a premium HomeAgain membership for the initial 12 months, featuring 24/7 Pet Recovery support, a Medical Hotline, and Pet Travel Assistance. Although microchips do not function as GPS trackers, they serve to identify pets and owners through a process involving scanning, identification, and manufacturer contact. It's critical to keep your pet's microchip updated to ensure prompt reunification in case of separation. Microchipping has enormously impacted reuniting lost pets with their families during natural disasters, including hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, etc. When such events occur, microchip identification is often the only way your pet can be reunited with your family. This is especially important with large natural disasters that can displace hundreds or thousands of animals. Microchipping is also helpful on a much smaller scale. Pets who have accidentally gotten out of the house or yard have a much higher chance of being reunited with their families when they have been proactively microchipped. Lastly, if there is a pet ownership dispute, microchip identification can determine who the rightful owner is. These are just a few examples of why microchipping can be so beneficial.
