At Turquoise Animal Hospital, we use internationally-compliant resQ® microchips. This means that your pet’s microchip can be read by an ISO-compliant anywhere in the world.
Why should you microchip?
Microchipping increases the chance that you will be reunited with your pet if they go missing. One study showed that microchipped pets are 2.5 times more likely to be reunited with their owner than pets who are not microchipped.
A resQ® microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and is implanted into your pet in a single simple injection, just like a vaccine. The microchip has a code that is unique to your pet, the way your social security number is unique to you. When a pet is found and scanned, the unique code can be traced back to you through your database registration at www.PetLink.NET, allowing you and your pet to be happily reunited.
The resQ® pet identification system utilizes the technology recommended by most major pet welfare and veterinary organizations in the United States.
