Pet microchipping in Huntington Beach

A permanent ID for dogs and cats

A microchip is about the size of a grain of rice, placed under the skin, usually between the shoulder blades. It holds a unique ID number linked to your contact information in a pet-recovery database.

Microchips do not expire. Keep your phone and address current in the registry. The placement feels like a vaccine — brief discomfort, not a surgery.

Some travel rules and airlines require a microchip. If your dog or cat is lost, shelters and clinics can scan for a chip and call you.

Call (714) 536-7591 or book.
