Powered by AAHA — the universal pet microchip lookup
A rice-sized chip is injected under the skin between the shoulder blades. It takes seconds, causes minimal discomfort, and lasts your pet's lifetime. No battery needed.
At a standard vet: $25–$50. At low-cost clinics or humane societies: often $10–$20. Many shelters include it free with adoption.
Getting chipped is only step 1. You must register with a national database (AAHA, Found Animals, HomeAgain). Keep your contact info current — a chip with old info can't reunite you.
Take the animal to any vet or shelter — they scan for free. If a chip is found, the vet looks it up on the AAHA universal registry and contacts the owner.
