Microchipping has become a very popular and safe way to permanently identify your pet and you as the owner in the unfortunate case that your pet is lost. Microchipping involves placement of a small electronic chip the size and shape of a piece of rice just under the skin in the neck area. A needle is used to inject the chip. The injection is comparable to a regular vaccine injection.
If your pet becomes lost and is transported to a humane society or a vet clinic, both will be able to scan your pet for the chip and contact you.
We advise you to use this system of identification as well as a collar identification system on your pet.
City Licensing
The city of Thunder Bay requires that pet owners have their animals licensed. These licences can be purchased at our clinic for your convenience.
