MICROCHIPPING
Permanent Identification That Protects What Matters Most
At Columbia Veterinary Center, we know your pet is family- and we want to help you protect them if they ever get lost. Our microchipping services provide safe, permanent identification that gives you the best chance of being reunited with your pet quickly and safely.
Fast, Safe Microchipping
The microchipping procedure is quick, virtually painless, and performed during a regular office visit. Using a sterile needle, we place a tiny chip—about the size of a grain of rice—just beneath the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades. No anesthesia required, and it’s over in seconds.
New International Chip Requirements
Planning to travel or relocate with your pet? We offer ISO-compliant microchips that meet new international travel standards. These globally recognized chips ensure your pet can be identified across borders and meet current microchipping requirements for international travel.
Pet Identification Registry
After the chip is placed, we register your pet’s unique ID number with a national petrecovery database. This includes your contact information, so if your pet is found by a vet, shelter, or rescue, they can scan the chip and reunite you quickly. We help guide
you through the registration and updating process for peace of mind that your pet is protected.
